At the Crossroads: Indians and Empires on a Mid-Atlantic Frontier, 1700-1763
"Merritt charts a marked course toward the consolidation of both 'Indian' and 'white' identities in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania. Employing rich, multilingual sources, she demonstrates with unique insight the experiences and experiments that Indians and colonists embraced as they struggled to survive and to prosper. Rarely has the personal quality of relations among the peoples of colonial America been analyzed with such sophistication or described with such immediacy and intimacy." - Gregory Evans Dowd, University of Michigan
