Bookroo's summary

In the early 1800s, American Indians and European settlers face an inevitable clash. As settlers push westward, driven by the promise of new land, they encounter indigenous peoples who have thrived for millennia. The Louisiana Purchase ignites a struggle over land and survival, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation. Will the settlers' dreams of expansion override the Indians' deep connection to their ancestral lands? Discover the tensions and choices that shaped a continent's future.

From the publisher

American Indians had lived in North America for thousands of years by the time European settlers arrived. The settlers came in search of land and were eager to build farms, roads, and towns. The Indians lived off the land and believed it belonged to everyone. When the U.S. government completed the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the plan to expand the country to the Pacific Ocean set up a collision course between the two groups’ ways of life.
