Description
Book SynopsisIn this deeply researched and engagingly argued work, Jeffers Lennox reconfigures our general understanding of how Indigenous peoples, imperial forces, and settlers competed for space in northeastern North America before the British conquest in 1763.
Trade Review‘This book is one of the best examinations of historical cartography ever written for the Northeast, and the 41 maps reproduced in the text provide a rich visual complement to Lennox’s carefully crafted arguments.’ -- Jason Hall * Acadiensis, November 2017 *
‘Highly Recommended.’ -- B. Osborne * Choice Magazine, vol 55:06:2018 *
"Jeffers Lennox’s monograph is certainly one that historians of the Atlantic World, of empire, and of indigenous North America will want to read carefully. It is an ambitious book that largely fulfills its mission to make us question cartography as an objective science even as the Enlightenment was beginning to blossom." -- Katherine Hermes, Central Connecticut State University *
