Synopsis
This historical study of relations between native peoples and new Americans just following the Revolutionary War focuses on the land between the new nation and British Canada known as the northern borderland, which had been designated as Indian land but became a contested zone where issues of land, property, and rights played out. Alan Taylor recounts in fascinating detail the many encounters, negotiations, disputes, and compromises that included boldfaced chicanery and outright brute theft, which eventually caused one chief to comment, "You are a cunning people without sincerity." Taylor tells how settlers established farms and demarcated private property, and how they established laws that sanctioned accepted practices of native peoples, such as freely traveling to and from Canada. He tells of the efforts of native peoples to adapt, to retain self-empowerment, and to exercise free enterprise and make a profit from their land. And he shows how both sides sought legitimacy, in a relationship that quickly became uneven. Though THE DIVIDED GROUND is dense with information and deals with many unknown names and events, Taylor’s history is readable and accessible, and sheds light on a little known but important facet of American expansion and Indian displacement.

Publisher's Note
The changing relationship of Joseph Brant, a young Mohawk, and Samuel Kirkland, the son of a colonial clergyman, from their first meeting at a New England boarding school, is set against the role of the Native American peoples in North America during the American Revolution and the shaping of the postwar borderland between the United States and British Canada.
