I agree whole-heartedly. Loved this book and read it in about four days. Very good writing.

Not to be Un-PC but it really gave me a feeling that the over simplification of white vs. indians has really been (as I wrote) over simplified into jingonistic terms.

While there was some definate Pilgrim vs. Native sheenanigans the indian tribes were all heavily involved in politics against each other and most other Anglo groups were no real fans of the Pilgrims. The whole north-eastern seaboard seemed like an early version of the middle east or something, just a convuluted mess of competeing interests.

Great book.
