Pekka Hämäläinen

4.9/5 (18335 ratings)

Description:A groundbreaking history of the rise and decline of the vast and imposing Native American empire. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a Native American empire rose to dominate the fiercely contested lands of the American Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and northern Mexico. This powerful empire, built by the Comanche Indians, eclipsed its various European rivals in military prowess, political prestige, economic power, commercial reach, and cultural influence. Yet, until now, the Comanche empire has gone unrecognized in American history.This compelling and original book uncovers the lost story of the Comanches. It is a story that challenges the idea of indigenous peoples as victims of European expansion and offers a new model for the history of colonial expansion, colonial frontiers, and Native-European relations in North America and elsewhere. Pekka Hämäläinen shows in vivid detail how the Comanches built their unique empire and resisted European colonization, and why they fell to defeat in 1875. With extensive knowledge and deep insight, the author brings into clear relief the Comanches' remarkable impact on the trajectory of history.2009 Winner of the Bancroft Prize in American History"Cutting-edge revisionist western history.... Immensely informative, particularly about activities in the eighteenth century."--Larry McMurtry, The New York Review of Books"Exhilarating...a pleasure to read.... It is a nuanced account of the complex social, cultural, and biological interactions that the acquisition of the horse unleashed in North America, and a brilliant analysis of a Comanche social formation that dominated the Southern Plains."--Richard White, author of The Middle Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650-1815We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
