Synopsis
Frontier the word carries the inevitable scent of the West. But before Custer or Lewis and Clark, before the first Conestoga wagons rumbled across the Plains, it was the East that marked the frontier--the boundary between complex Native cultures and the first colonizing Europeans. Here is the older, wilder, darker history of a time when the land between the Atlantic and the Appalachians was contested ground--when radically different societies adopted and adapted the ways of the other, while struggling for control of what all considered to be their land. The First Frontier traces two and a half centuries of history through poignant, mostly unheralded personal stories--like that of a Harvard-educated Indian caught up in seventeenth-century civil warfare, a mixed-blood interpreter trying to straddle his white and Native heritage, and a Puritan woman wielding a scalping knife whose bloody deeds still resonate uneasily today. It is the first book in years to paint a sweeping picture of the Eastern frontier, combining vivid storytelling with the latest research to bring to life modern America's tumultuous, uncertain beginnings., An exploration some of the most turbulent, fascinating years in American history: the 16th century into the mid-18th century in eastern North America., Frontier : the word carries the inevitable scent of the West.

    Prompt shipping. Packaged well. Good communication. Great customer service. Item arrived with manufacturing defect. Seller replaced item. Also, eBay issued refund and considered order closed. Replacement also had manufacturing defect. I can't access replacement order in the system to obtain defective item return shipping label. Seller advised me to keep item, or donate to library. I've seen this type of quality control issue on a few other, modern vinyl reissues.

    Absolutely superb buying experience. The book was shipped quickly and delivered on time. Shipping was tracked for added security. The seller packaged the book very carefully so it wouldn't get damaged. This is something I appreciate a lot so my thanks to him. Condition of the book was exactly as advertised that is to say pristine condition. I couldn't be more satisfied hence my 5/5 positive feedback to the seller.
