“Merritt’s book is a richly researched investigation of the world Indians and their neighbors made together, and lost, in the decades before the American Revolution.”
--Jill Lepore
“With rigor, clarity, and compassion, Merritt reconstructs the world that was lost on the Pennsylvania frontier in the maelstrom of the Seven Years’ War. I know of no portrait of relations between European colonizers and native peoples that does a better job than this one in depicting the human realities of religious faith, intercultural accommodation, and violent conflict. A splendid book.”
--Fred Anderson
“Merritt charts a marked course toward the consolidation of both ‘Indian’ and ‘white’ identities in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania. Employing rich, multilingual sources, she demonstrates with unique insight the experiences and experiments that Indians and colonists embraced as they struggled to survive and to prosper. Rarely has the personal quality of relations among the peoples of colonial America been analyzed with such sophistication or described with such immediacy and intimacy.“
