Last updated October 31, 2026
David Horowitz chronicles the wars between English colonists and Native American peoples from the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to the eve of the American Revolution. He covers the conflicts with the Powhatan confederacy, the Pequot War, King Philip's War and the French and Indian War, and argues that over a hundred years of frontier warfare did much to shape the character, politics and ambitions of the colonies that became the United States.
