About this title

Review:

"An important new book... It displays a mastery of the literature and impressive erudition; a capacity for the patient teasing out of the truth from sources that are often incomplete and partisan; and a lucid narrative style that carries the reader along... A formidable achievement." J. H. Elliott, New York Review of Books "A masterful synthesis that will serve as a necessary point of departure for historians working in different areas of frontier or borderlands history for many years to come." Cynthia Radding, Director, Latin American and Iberian Institute, University of New Mexico "A stunning book that will be read for generations and lauded for its awesome research, judicious analysis, and graceful prose." James Schofield Saeger, Lehigh University"
