Description:
James Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the "go-betweens." the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go-betweens survived in the woods dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging and safety, and how they sought to bridge the vast cultural gaps between the Europeans and the Indians. The futility of these efforts became clear in the sickening plummer into war after 1750.
