Troy Bickham considers an array of contexts,including newspapers, imperial policy, museum exhibits, the Enlightenment, missionary records, and the public outcry over the use of American Indians as allies during the American War of Independence. He thus. reveals the prevailing pragmatism with which Britons of all ranks approached the empire as well as its impact on British cultureOxford Historical MonographsIndians of North AmericaHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775HistoriographyIndians of North AmericaForeign public opinion, BritishPublic opinionGreat BritainHistory18th centuryHistoriographyGreat BritainHistory18th centuryIndians of North AmericaHistoriographyImperialismHistoriographyGreat BritainColoniesAmericaHistoriographyGreat BritainCivilizationAmerican influencesGreat BritainCivilization18th centuryIndians of North AmericaHistoryHistoriography.Indians of North AmericaForeign public opinion, British.Public opinionHistoryHistoriographyHistoryIndians of North AmericaHistoriography.ImperialismHistoriography.973.04/97Bickham Troy O1499540MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807475003321Savages within the empire4019878UNINA
