WALTER SCOTT : 2007 TABLE OF CONTENTS / INHALTSVERZEICHNIS LAND
THE FUR TRADERS THE SETTLERS THE NATIVE AMERICANS THE LOYALISTS THE
BRITISH ARMY THE QUEBEC ACT, 1774 DUNMORE S WAR, 1774 NEUTRALITY, 1775
CHOOSING SIDES, 1776. DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
Contrary to common understanding,
in the backcountry at least, the
American Revolution was fought over
land rather than democratic ideals. In
this book, historian Walter Dunn
reveals the true nature of the conflicting
interests on the frontier, demonstrating
that the primary issues there, land and
the fur trade, were, in fact, the basis of
the conflict between the local colonists
and Britain.
Diverse Indian groups, wealthy land
speculators, humbler settlers, fur
traders, and the British government all
had conflicting designs on the rich
lands west of the Appalachian
Mountains. The conflict on the frontier
during the Revolution has been
described as one of heroic settlers
defending their farms against attacks by
the British army, the Tories, and the
Indians. In truth, the situation was far
more complex. For many on the frontier,
the primary motive for fighting was not
defending farms, but acquiring vast
tracts of land for later resale at enormous
profit. Native Americans, in contrast,
were motivated by the desire to retain
control of their homeland, for without
their hunting grounds and cornfields,
they would starve.
Going beyond accepted theory,
Dunn explores why those on the
Ěrontier
reacted to the conflict as they did. He
demonstrates how the various economic
groups were forced to decide whether
they should side with Britain or the
colonists or if possible remain neutral,
and the forces that governed those
choices. Finally, he reveals how the
decisions made on the frontier during
the Revolution had a lasting impact on
the post-war situation in the West,
delaying western expansion by nearly
two decades.
WALTER S. DUNN JR. is an inde¬
pendent researcher and retired museum
curator. He has published a dozen
books on World War II and on colonial
and local history.
