Description

Into the American Woods: Negotiators on the Pennsylvania FrontierJames Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the "go betweens," the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace. It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go betweens survived in the woods, dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging,

James Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the "go-betweens," the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace. It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go-betweens survived in the woods, dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging, and safety, and how they sought to bridge the vast cultural gaps between the Europeans and the Indians. The futility of these efforts became clear in the sickening plummet into war after 1750. "A stunningly original and exceedingly well-written account of diplomacy on the edge of the Pennsylvania wilderness."--Publishers Weekly

Must have colar polo, great feel super soft, at great price.
Size: X-Large, Color: White W/ Blue Dots
Great polo shirt. The material is super soft and comfortable. I bought this for a beach evening and the colors are great, looks expensive and material is so worth it. Thickness is perfect considering wanted something light since we live in Caribbean. Great purchase.

Runs a touch larger than other same brand polo's, light and breathable.
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Black
Super ligh, breathable and thin. Stretchy but still leaves room for the dad bod belly and dad bod boobs lol This specific polo runs a bit larger than most of the others by this same company so be aware of that. I am 5'6" - 280lbs and wear a 4xl normally in AZ's but this one fit perfect in a 3xl. Great summer night shirt, just be mindful not to snag it on something and also better to hand wash this as even a gentle cycle has the tendency to cause some damage.
