The text provides a deep dive into frontier encounters, indigenous empires, and the global patterns of intensified conflict during the 1800s. This hardcover edition includes maps, illustrations, extensive notes, a bibliography, and an index, making it an essential resource for those interested in Native American, South African, or colonial history.
