A Spirited Resistance: The North American Indian Struggle for Unity, 1745-1815 (The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science)
Angrily reject[s] the Eurocentric assumptions of works that center on big-chief-hero or on isolated tribes... [and] departs from such atomized approaches to describe the attempt to combat colonialism through a religiously charged, pan-Indian militant movement... [Dowd] is sophisticated and exceptionally self-aware, recognizing how indebted even his counter-history is to European assumptions, and he tells an important and persuasive story.(James R. KincaidNew York Times Book Review)
