Description

The Indian World of George Washington: The First President, the First Americans, and the Birth of the NationGeorge Washington's place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure. Yet American history has largely forgotten

George Washington's place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story--from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States--reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure.

Yet American history has largely forgotten what Washington himself knew clearly: that the new Republic's fate depended less on grand rhetoric of independence and self-governance and more on land--Indian land. Colin G. Calloway's biography of the greatest founding father reveals in full the relationship between Washington and the Native leaders he dealt with intimately across the decades: Shingas, Tanaghrisson, Guyasuta, Attakullakulla, Bloody Fellow, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Red Jacket, and Little Turtle, among many others. Using the prism of Washington's life to bring focus to these figures and the tribes they represented--the Iroquois Confederacy, Lenape, Miami, Creek, Delaware--Calloway reveals how central their role truly was in Washington's, and therefore the nation's, foundational narrative.

Calloway gives the First Americans their due, revealing the full extent and complexity of the relationships between the man who rose to become the nation's most powerful figure and those whose power and dominion declined in almost equal degree during his lifetime. His book invites us to look at America's origins in a new light. The Indian World of George Washington is a brilliant portrait of both the most revered man in American history and those whose story during the tumultuous century in which the country was formed has, until now, been only partially told.

Thick, durable jeans for a good price!
Size: 34W x 34L, Color: Tinted Dark Wash
I bought these for my son. They fit well - true to size. They feel thick and durable. He says the fabric is a little stiff, which makes them wrinkle, so he doesn't wear them as often as some other jeans.

They are dark blue and are great especially for the price.
Size: 38W x 28L, Color: Tinted Dark Wash
They fit true to the size and the dark blue color is perfect...!!! I did wash them in hot water and put them in the dryer on low temperature before I wore them and they fit perfect. And I am 5'6" weight about 215lbs. I bought the 38 waste and 28 length and athletic fit stretch and they do stretch and I absolutely love them...!!!

Great jeans, waist is too high
Size: 40W x 30L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
These pants, so far, have been well made and are almost identical to Levi's 541 style jeans. They have almost the exact same fit and are comfortable. There is only one detractor, the waist is about an inch and a half too high. I compared it to my 541's and that is the only difference. I am glad I know about this now. Other than the waist height, I would absolutely buy these again.
