"Introduces us to extraordinary men and women and landmark events that shaped the American character and the future of the nation." -Thomas J. Craughwell, author of Failures of the Presidents and Stealing Lincoln's Body

Today Americans remember 1776 as the beginning of an era. A nation was born, commencing a story that continues to this day. But the War of Independence also marked the end of another era-one in which many nations, Native American and European, had struggled for control of a vast and formidable wilderness.
This book returns to that long-ago age in which the clash between America's first peoples and the newcomers from Europe was still new. Author Cormac O'Brien's masterful storytelling reveals how actors as diverse as Spanish conquistadores, Puritan ministers, Amerindian sachems, mercenary soldiers, and ordinary farmers traded and clashed across a landscape of constant, often violent, change-and how these dramatic moments helped to shape the world around us.
From the founding of the first permanent European settlement in North America (1565) to the bloody chaos of the British frontier in Pontiac's War (1763), this vividly written narrative spans the two centuries of American history before the Revolutionary War. These lesser-known conflicts of the past are brought brilliantly to life, showing us a world of heroism, brutality, and tenacity-and also showing us how deep the roots of our own time truly run. Illustrated with more than 100 archival images.
"Set against a grand landscape that inspires both awe and terror, The Forgotten History of America depicts a continent emerging as both a bloody battleground between Native Americans and Europeans and a place where alien cultures began to mesh." -Joseph Cummins, author of The World's Bloodiest History
