DIVIDED GROUND, THE(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of William Cooper’s
Town comes a dramatic and illuminating portrait of white and Native
American relations in the aftermath of the American
Revolution.
　　The Divided Ground tells the story of two friends, a Mohawk
Indian and the son of a colonial clergyman, whose relationship
helped redefine North America. As one served American expansion by
promoting Indian dispossession and religious conversion, and the
other struggled to defend and strengthen Indian territories, the
two friends became bitter enemies. Their battle over control of the
Indian borderland, that divided ground between the British Empire
and the nascent United States, would come to define nationhood in
North America. Taylor tells a fascinating story of the far-reaching
effects of the American Revolution and the struggle of American
Indians to preserve a land of their own.

　　Alan Taylor received his B.A. from Colby College and his Ph.D.
from Brandeis University. He has taught at Colby College, the
College of William & Mary, Boston University, and the
University of California at Davis, where he is Professor of
History. He is the author of Liberty Men and Great Proprietors:
The Revolutionary Settlement on the Maine Frontier, 1760-1820
(1990); William Cooper’s Town: Power and Persuasion on the
Frontier of the Early American Republic (1996), and American
Colonies: The Settlement of North America (The Penguin History of
the United States, Vol. 1, 2001).
