Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, from correspondence between Cadwallader Colden and his contemporaries, tells the story of the British Provinces in North America during the mid-18th century. From a land dispute among Native Americans to the machinations before the French and Indian War, Colden's meticulously recorded conversations, observations, and reflections provide a firsthand account of many pivotal events. Colden documents the struggles of cities to maintain order, the delicate relationships between civilian and military leaders, the conflicts between colonists and Native Americans over land, and the seeds of discontent with British rule that would eventually erupt in full-scale revolution. Colden's insights, originally written in the years before the Revolution when he served as Lieutenant Governor of New York, are more relevant than ever to an understanding of this moment in history and the factors which led to the birth of the United States.
