Description
The American Revolution was, in many important ways, an Indian War. It was a war in which ordinary Natives fought and died in great numbers; it was a war which unfolded not just in eastern coastal locations, but also deep in the interior on the frontier between Native America and the backcountry settlements; it was a war in which ordinary Natives assumed critical, pivotal roles; a war that would reshape the balance of power between Europeans and Native Americans on this continent drastically and permanently. Join University of Maryland historian Richard Bell for a survey of the American Revolution in Indian Country, paying particular attention to the life and times of Molly Brant, an Iroquois woman who emerged during this long, bitter war as the most important military and cultural broker in Native America.
