Book Synopsis The Cutting-Off Way by : Wayne E. Lee
Download or read book The Cutting-Off Way written by Wayne E. Lee and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporating archeology, anthropology, cartography, and Indigenous studies into military history, Wayne E. Lee has argued throughout his distinguished career that wars and warfare cannot be understood by a focus that rests solely on logistics, strategy, and operations. Fighting forces bring their own cultural traditions and values onto the battlefield. In this volume, Lee employs his "cutting-off way of war" (COWW) paradigm to recast Indigenous warfare in a framework of the lived realities of Native people rather than with regard to European and settler military strategies and practices. Indigenous people lacked deep reserves of population or systems of coercive military recruitment and as such were wary of heavy casualties. Instead, Indigenous warriors sought to surprise their targets, and the size of the target varied with the size of the attacking force. A small war party might "cut off" individuals found getting water, wood, or out hunting, while a larger party might attempt to attack a whole town. Once revealed by its attack, the invading war party would flee before the defenders' reinforcements from nearby towns could organize. Sieges or battles were rare and fought mainly to save face or reputation. After discussing the COWW paradigm, including a deep look at Native logistics and their associated strategic flexibility, Lee demonstrates how the system worked and evolved in five subsequent chapters that detail intra-tribal and Indigenous-colonial warfare from pre-contact through the American Revolution.

Download or read book Peace and War on the Anglo-Cherokee Frontier, 1756–63 written by J. Oliphant and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-02-02 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Seven Years War pushed London towards a protective Native American policy, outcomes were determined by men on the spot. The savage Anglo-Cherokee war was resolved by Cherokee headmen willing to accept a dignified peace; and by the sympathy of the very man sent to crush them. Colonel James Grant forced his treaty upon South Carolina, demonstrated the value of imperial frontier management and started some Carolinians on the road to revolution.
Book Synopsis The Journal of Jeffery Amherst by : Jeffery Amherst
Download or read book The Journal of Jeffery Amherst written by Jeffery Amherst and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Jeffery Amherst: Recording the Military Career of General Amherst in America From 1758 to 1763An interesting feature of Amherst's Journal is the great variety of details which it records. He takes time to inter sperse among the more important enterprises of his campaign such incidents as, the hanging of a deserter, the scalpn Of a sentry, notes on topography, unusual natural phenomena, rec ords Of visits to towns and hamlets, friendly calls on both humble and distinguished citizens, exchange of flags of truce, sending Of despatches, the health Of the regiments, homesickness among his troops and the making of spruce beer. Following a detailed order to one Of the military Governors there will appear an expression Of his personal grief over the loss Of a valiant junior Officer; jostling a despatch to London, or plans for the siege of an enemy fortification, one will encounter spicy comments on the lack Of judgment, enterprise or some other practical virtue among his Officers or men, and emphatic private judgments on a great variety of subjects. Altogether it is a unique document, and amid the crowding details there emerges Amherst himself, perhaps over cautious and deliberate, certainly nothing of the dashing commander, but at any rate a competent general, who knew what he was about and how to go about it, who was everywhere and always himself, certain Of his plans and confident in his Opinions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis White People, Indians, and Highlanders by : Colin G. Calloway
Download or read book White People, Indians, and Highlanders written by Colin G. Calloway and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-03 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nineteenth century paintings, the proud Indian warrior and the Scottish Highland chief appear in similar ways--colorful and wild, righteous and warlike, the last of their kind. Earlier accounts depict both as barbarians, lacking in culture and in need of civilization. By the nineteenth century, intermarriage and cultural contact between the two--described during the Seven Years' War as cousins--was such that Cree, Mohawk, Cherokee, and Salish were often spoken with Gaelic accents. In this imaginative work of imperial and tribal history, Colin Calloway examines why these two seemingly wildly disparate groups appear to have so much in common. Both Highland clans and Native American societies underwent parallel experiences on the peripheries of Britain's empire, and often encountered one another on the frontier. Indeed, Highlanders and American Indians fought, traded, and lived together. Both groups were treated as tribal peoples--remnants of a barbaric past--and eventually forced from their ancestral lands as their traditional food sources--cattle in the Highlands and bison on the Great Plains--were decimated to make way for livestock farming. In a familiar pattern, the cultures that conquered them would later romanticize the very ways of life they had destroyed. White People, Indians, and Highlanders illustrates how these groups alternately resisted and accommodated the cultural and economic assault of colonialism, before their eventual dispossession during the Highland Clearances and Indian Removals. What emerges is a finely-drawn portrait of how indigenous peoples with their own rich identities experienced cultural change, economic transformation, and demographic dislocation amidst the growing power of the British and American empires.

Book Synopsis Blood in the Hills by : Bruce Stewart
Download or read book Blood in the Hills written by Bruce Stewart and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many antebellum Americans, Appalachia was a frightening wilderness of lawlessness, peril, robbers, and hidden dangers. The extensive media coverage of horse stealing and scalping raids profiled the regionÕs residents as intrinsically violent. After the Civil War, this characterization continued to permeate perceptions of the area and news of the conflict between the Hatfields and the McCoys, as well as the bloodshed associated with the coal labor strikes, cemented AppalachiaÕs violent reputation. Blood in the Hills: A History of Violence in Appalachia provides an in-depth historical analysis of hostility in the region from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. Editor Bruce E. Stewart discusses aspects of the Appalachian violence culture, examining skirmishes with the native population, conflicts resulting from the regionÕs rapid modernization, and violence as a function of social control. The contributors also address geographical isolation and ethnicity, kinship, gender, class, and race with the purpose of shedding light on an often-stereotyped regional past. Blood in the Hills does not attempt to apologize for the region but uses detailed research and analysis to explain it, delving into the social and political factors that have defined Appalachia throughout its violent history.
Book Synopsis From Empire to Revolution by : Greg Brooking
Download or read book From Empire to Revolution written by Greg Brooking and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Empire to Revolution is the first biography devoted to an in-depth examination of the life and conflicted career of Sir James Wright (1716–1785). Greg Brooking uses Wright’s life as a means to better understand the complex struggle for power in both colonial Georgia and the larger British Empire. James Wright lived a transatlantic life, taking advantage of every imperial opportunity afforded him. He earned numerous important government posts and amassed an incredible fortune, totaling over £100,000 sterling. An England-born grandson of Sir Robert Wright, James Wright was raised in Charleston, South Carolina, following his father’s appointment as the chief justice of that colony. Young James served South Carolina in a number of capacities, public and ecclesiastical, prior to his admittance to London’s famed Gray’s Inn to study law. Most notably, he was appointed South Carolina’s attorney general and colonial agent to London prior to becoming the governor of Georgia in 1761. Wright’s long imperial career delicately balanced dual loyalties to Crown and colony and offers a new perspective on loyalism and the American Revolution. Through this lens, Greg Brooking connects several important contexts in recent early American and British scholarship, including imperial and Atlantic history, Indigenous borderlands, race and slavery, and popular politics.

Book Synopsis Carolina in Crisis by : Daniel J. Tortora
Download or read book Carolina in Crisis written by Daniel J. Tortora and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging history, Daniel J. Tortora explores how the Anglo-Cherokee War reshaped the political and cultural landscape of the colonial South. Tortora chronicles the series of clashes that erupted from 1758 to 1761 between Cherokees, settlers, and British troops. The conflict, no insignificant sideshow to the French and Indian War, eventually led to the regeneration of a British-Cherokee alliance. Tortora reveals how the war destabilized the South Carolina colony and threatened the white coastal elite, arguing that the political and military success of the Cherokees led colonists to a greater fear of slave resistance and revolt and ultimately nurtured South Carolinians' rising interest in the movement for independence. Drawing on newspaper accounts, military and diplomatic correspondence, and the speeches of Cherokee people, among other sources, this work reexamines the experiences of Cherokees, whites, and African Americans in the mid-eighteenth century. Centering his analysis on Native American history, Tortora reconsiders the rise of revolutionary sentiments in the South while also detailing the Anglo-Cherokee War from the Cherokee perspective.
Book Synopsis Guardians of the Valley by : Edward J. Cashin
Download or read book Guardians of the Valley written by Edward J. Cashin and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of the Lower Chickasaws in the Savannah River Valley Edward J. Cashin, the preeminent historian of colonial Georgia history, offers an account of the Lower Chickasaws, who settled on the Savannah River near Augusta in the early eighteenth century and remained an integral part of the region until the American Revolution. Fierce allies to the English settlers, the Chickasaws served as trading partners, loyal protectors, and diplomatic representatives to other southeastern tribes. In the absence of their benevolence, the English settlements would not have developed as rapidly or securely in the Savannah River Valley. Aided by his unique access to the modern Chickasaw Nation, Cashin has woven together details on the eastern Chickasaws from diverse source materials to create this cohesive narrative set against the shifting backdrop of the southern frontier. The Chickasaws offered primary allegiance to South Carolina and Georgia at different times in their history but always served as a link in ongoing trade between Charleston and the Chickasaw homeland in what is now Mississippi. By recounting the political, social, and military interactions between the native peoples and settlers, Cashin introduces readers to a colorful cast of Chickasaw leaders, including Squirrel King, the Doctor, and Mingo Stoby, each an important component to a story that has until now gone untold.
Book Synopsis On Campaign Against Fort Duquesne by : Douglas R. Cubbison
Download or read book On Campaign Against Fort Duquesne written by Douglas R. Cubbison and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Seven Years' War, Sir John St. Clair served as Deputy Quartermaster General with British General Edward Braddock's disastrous campaign to capture Fort Duquesne at the Forks of the Ohio in 1755. St. Clair had great responsibilities during the campaign and was the first Deputy Quartermaster General in North America's history. History has laid a litany of blame at Braddock's feet: he was old, slow, logistically naive, a martinet poorly versed in tactics, uninterested in his soldiers' welfare and unwilling to cooperate with the colonists. Based on a new transcription of St. Clair's correspondence, this comprehensive study of Braddock's logistics offers a radical reinterpretation of the general and his campaign. The author also presents an examination of St. Clair's role as quartermaster during Brigadier General John Forbes' subsequent and successful campaign against Fort Duquesne in 1758.
