Last night I finished the Andrew Garcia book titled "Tough Trip Through Paradise." It's a first hand account from 1878-1879. If you want to get a real feel for the mindset and social behavior of the Indian in the west at the time I reccommend you read it. A feel for the mindset and social behaviour through one persons point of view.

Allan Eckart's The Frontiersman is a must read for anyone interested in that era.
Follows Simon Kenton, a friend of Boone's.
He was Boonier than Boone! Anything Allan Eckart wrote is well worth reading.That man has a gift,he certainly opened my eyes to the adventures on the eastern frontier.Most people in this country don't know this history exists,everything concerns West of the Mississippi.

He was Boonier than Boone! It's pretty clear that Kenton was one of the very few people Boone trusted when in dangerous situations.

....
It's a myth that white people took the land away from the natives in North America; in most cases it was sold to the whites by the Indians, at least in the eastern half of the US. In some cases the Indians sold it to the British, and then it was taken by the US in the revolutionary war. It's complicated to say the least.
...
On my father side there are Acadians who married a few mi'kmaq. The mi'kmaq and Acadians lived pretty close, traded and where allies. Sometimes even married. I'm pretty sure when the British "expelled" the Acadians they didn't let the mi'kmaq stay either.
