Forest Diplomacy: Cultures in Conflict on the Pennsylvania Frontier, 1757: 0 (Reacting to the Past) - Softcover

Forest Diplomacy draws students into the colonial frontier, where Pennsylvania settlers and the Delaware Indians (or Lenape) are engaged in a vicious and destructive war. Using sources-including previous treaties, firsthand accounts of the war, controversies over Quaker pacifism, and various Iroquois and Lenape cultural texts-students engage in a Treaty Council to bring peace back to the frontier.
