From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of William Cooper''s
Town comes a dramatic and illuminating portrait of white and Native
American relations in the aftermath of the American
Revolution.
The Divided Ground tells the story of two friends, a Mohawk
Indian and the son of a colonial clergyman, whose relationship
helped redefine North America. As one served American expansion by
promoting Indian dispossession and religious conversion, and the
other struggled to defend and strengthen Indian territories, the
two friends became bitter enemies. Their battle over control of the
Indian borderland, that divided ground between the British Empire
and the nascent United States, would come to define nationhood in
North America. Taylor tells a fascinating story of the far-reaching
effects of the American Revolution and the struggle of American
Indians to preserve a land of their own.
