Gregory Evans Dowd is a professor of history and American Culture and Director of Native American Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and author of A Spirited Resistance: The North American Struggle for Unity, 1745-1815, also available from Johns Hopkins.
Angrily reject[s] the Eurocentric assumptions of works that center on big-chief-hero or on isolated tribes... [and] departs from such atomized approaches to describe the attempt to combat colonialism through a religiously charged, pan-Indian militant movement... [Dowd] is sophisticated and exceptionally self-aware, recognizing how indebted even his counter-history is to European assumptions, and he tells an important and persuasive story. -- James R. Kincaid New York Times Book Review
