In the summer of 1722, on the eve of a conference between the Five Nations of the Iroquois and British-American colonists, two colonial fur traders brutally attacked an Indigenous hunter in colonial Pennsylvania. The crime set the entire mid-Atlantic on edge, with many believing that war was imminent. Frantic efforts to resolve the case created a contest between Native American forms of justice, centered on community, forgiveness, and reparations, and an ideology of harsh reprisal, based on British law, that called for the killers' execution. In a stunning narrative history based on painstaking original research, acclaimed historian Nicole Eustace reconstructs the crime and its aftermath, taking us into the worlds of Euro-Americans and Indigenous peoples in this formative period. A feat of reclamation evoking Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's A Midwife's Tale and Alan Taylor's William Cooper's Town, Eustace's utterly absorbing account provides a new understanding of Indigenous forms of justice, with lessons for our era.]]></description><link>https://cals.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S100C2077833</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cals.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S100C2077833</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eustace, Nicole]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cals.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2077833100</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Story of Murder and Indigenous Justice in Early America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781631495878/MC.GIF&amp;client=cenarkls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
