xvii+660pp. Illus. in text. After an archaeologically oriented introduction to the American Indians, Professor Merk describes the arrival of the English in 17th-century Virginia as the beginning of the "greatest migration of people in recorded history". He describes colonial relations with the Indians; the expansion of French and British interests that resulted in the British victory in the French and Indian War; the importance of land speculators; secular differences in the early 19th-century over primarily economic issues; slavery and the Kansas-Nebraska Act that led eventually to Civil War. A superb study of the Westward Movement on which the author was a recognised expert. Contains numerous illustrations and Index. (Heavy item, may require additional postage).
