The rest of the long title is: Little-Known Conflicts of Lasting Importance from the Earliest Colonists to the Eve of the Revolution. It reads kind of like a text book but maybe not quite that dry either--been a few years since I have read a text book. Lots of information and history about the battles between the colonists and the Indians and which tribes were friendly & which were not, which sided with the French & which sided with the English. Basically all Indian tribes were fought against it seems at times but the Indians did get some shots in too. Just a good reminder that there were people here before the Europeans arrived and that colonizing America was a dirty & messy business. You can't go back and change history but remembering it is still important.
There are no copies in PBS system & no WL for the book but since has a lot of good information I think I am keeping it at this point, no reason to post it at least yet.
