IN THEIR OWN WORDS—NATIVE AMERICAN VOICE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Fitzpatrick, a 375pp PB based upon 144
never-before-published primary source documents from the Haldimand Papers of
British War Library, dealing with the American Revolution 1775-1784. Hear the
voices of Indian Chiefs and war captains as they responded in council to the
“quarrel between white brothers” as their words were spoken, directly translated
and written down during individual meetings with both British and American
officials, as they sough the allegiance of the Indians. This well-research book
is by the same man who gave us Wilderness War on the Ohio. 375pp PB with full
color cover. $19.95.
It has taken Alan nearly three years of research, compile, transcriobe and edit
these unique documents into a form that contains the verbatim speeched of dozens
of Native American orators from a host of Indian tribes who spoke at councils
held with both British and American officials during the American Revolution as
both sides sought the allegiance of the Indians
