Using the accounts of Native leaders who visited cities in the Early Republic, Calloway's book reorients the story of that founding. Violent resistance was just one of many Native responses to colonialism. Peaceful interaction was far more the norm, and while less dramatic and therefore less covered, far more importantin its effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book's goal is to reveal what Native Americans observed and thought during their visits to provide a greater understanding of their varied roles and agency within the colonial world ... through newspaper accounts, memoirs, and other primary sources, he succeeds in weaving a valuable, interesting, and credible narrative about indigenous Americans' experiences with and roles in the colonial world. * T.
