Epilogue -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexIn examining the history of northeastern North America in the seventeenth and eighteen centuries, it is important to take into account diverse influences and experiences. Not only was the relationship between native inhabitants and colonial settlers a defining characteristic of Acadia/Nova Scotia and New England in this era, but it was also a relationship shaped by wider continental and oceanic connections. The essays in this volume deal with topics such as colonial habitation, imperial exchange, and aboriginal engagement, all of which were pervasive phenomena of the time. John G. Reid argues that these were complicated processes that interacted freely with one another, shaping the human experience at different times and places. Northeastern North America was an arena of distinctive complexities in the early modern period, and this collection uses it as an example of a manageable and logical basis for historical study. Reid also explores the significance of anniversary observances and commemorations that have served as vehicles of reflection on the lasting implications of historical developments in the early modern period. These and other insights amount to a fresh perspective on the region and offer a deeper understanding of North American history.Indians of North AmericaHistory17th centuryIndians of North AmericaHistory18th centuryMaritime ProvincesHistoryAcadiaHistoryNew EnglandHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775CanadaHistoryTo 1763 (New France)Electronic books.Indians of North AmericaHistoryIndians of North AmericaHistory971.01Reid John G.1948-936774Baker Emerson W.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456784803321Essays on northeastern North America, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries2269413UNINA
