Hardcover, illustrations, map, index, 278 pages. A revision of the first chapter in U.S. history based on the discovery of the Morgan Papers. Featuring previously unpublished letters written by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benedict Arnold, and the private journal of Indian agent Col. George Morgan. Orignal speeches from the head chiefs, tribal councillors, and women leaders from over 20 Indian tribes. Their promise to remain neutral at the first U.S.-Indian Peace Treaty in 1776 gave the American Revolutionaries time to win the war against the British.
