Lee. 264 1 $a Cambridge, Massachusetts : $b The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, $c 2019. 300 $a 348 pages : $c 25 cm 520 $a From the fall of Cahokia in the early fourteenth century to the ascendancy of the young United States in the early nineteenth century, Jacob Lee reinterprets the history of early North America by tracing the key role major midcontinental rivers and social networks played in linking Indian nations and European empires in a long, shared history of conquest and resistance. Long before Europeans set foot on the shores of North America, Siouan peoples from the Great Plains, Algonquians from the Great Lakes, and Muskhogeans from the South traded with and fought each other in the heart of the midcontinent. Starting in the early 1600s, the Illinois became the dominant power in the region, constructing a network of allies that stretched from Lake Superior to Arkansas. They were at the height of their power in 1673 when the first French explorers, Jolliet and Marquette, appeared in the region. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, the major empires in North American history--France, Britain, Spain, and the US--claimed part or all of the region. When Americans came on the scene and began to remake the midcontinent, they overturned the patterns of 150 years of interaction between Indians and Europeans.-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Cities of the living, cities of the dead -- In Cahokia's wake -- Conversions -- Alliances and fractures -- A new world? -- An empire of kin -- Conquest -- Conclusion: The deep history of the midcontinent. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Mississippi River Valley $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Mississippi River Valley $x History. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Kinship $z Mississippi River Valley. 650 0 $a Illinois Indians $x History. 650 0 $a Illinois Indians $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Indians, Treatment of $z Mississippi River Valley. 651 0 $a Mississippi River Valley $x History. 651 0 $a Europe $x History. $z America $x History. 650 7 $a Illinois Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967220 650 7 $a Indians of North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969633 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Kinship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969806 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969875 650 7 $a Indians, Treatment of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970120 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a Mississippi River Valley. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240240 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102014643.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20210416010141.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217021357.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=160E5E3A550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
