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 Republics fate depended less on grand rhetoric of independence and self governance and more on land Indian land. Colin G. Calloways 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 Washingtons 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 Washingtons  and therefore the nations  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 nations most powerful figure and those whose power and dominion declined in almost equal degree during his lifetime. His book invites us to look at Americas 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945782636597,"sku":"ByrdShop_0190652160","price":32.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780190652166_eeda6c6f-91fe-470e-868d-0d98c3bad679.jpg?v=1770162058","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-indian-world-of-george-washington-the-first-president-the-first-americans-and-the-birth-of-the-nation","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
