1810 RARE 1^st ed Native American INDIAN Wars Propaganda Revolution Constitution

 

‘The History of North America’ is an early 19^th-century history of the United States focusing on the earliest Native American tribes, colonial settlements, and the establishment of states. Cooper had an interesting perspective on Indians:

“Almost the sole occupation of the American Indian is war or such an exercise as qualifies him for it. His whole glory consists in this, and no man is at all considered until he has increased the strength of country with captive, or adorned his hat with the scalp of one of his enemies.” (p.23)
