Description

The Indian World of George Washington: The First President, the First Americans, and the Birth of the NationGeorge Washington's place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure. Yet American history has largely forgotten

George Washington's place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story--from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States--reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure.

Yet American history has largely forgotten what Washington himself knew clearly: that the new Republic's fate depended less on grand rhetoric of independence and self-governance and more on land--Indian land. Colin G. Calloway's biography of the greatest founding father reveals in full the relationship between Washington and the Native leaders he dealt with intimately across the decades: Shingas, Tanaghrisson, Guyasuta, Attakullakulla, Bloody Fellow, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Red Jacket, and Little Turtle, among many others. Using the prism of Washington's life to bring focus to these figures and the tribes they represented--the Iroquois Confederacy, Lenape, Miami, Creek, Delaware--Calloway reveals how central their role truly was in Washington's, and therefore the nation's, foundational narrative.

Calloway gives the First Americans their due, revealing the full extent and complexity of the relationships between the man who rose to become the nation's most powerful figure and those whose power and dominion declined in almost equal degree during his lifetime. His book invites us to look at America's origins in a new light. The Indian World of George Washington is a brilliant portrait of both the most revered man in American history and those whose story during the tumultuous century in which the country was formed has, until now, been only partially told.

Chik'n Chips are our dog's favorite snack! Beau is absolutely crazy about them. If you really want him to do something, just tell him to "Sit" and give him a Chik'n Chip. Or show him one and ask him "What do you do?".

The dogs love it!
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
They look like slices of hot dogs, and they're a bit hit with my pups. Even my picky eater loves them! They're large enough to be satisfying and small enough that overfeeding the dogs is not an issue.

My dogs absolutely love this treat.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have very picky dogs so I usually would start off with something small to give to my dogs. Sort of like a taste test. Case in point, I bought a small bag to test. Surprisingly, both of my dogs love this treat so I continued to purchase this item. These chips are pretty expensive so I try to buy them once a month on a subscription. Sometimes I end up buying more within the month because my dogs gobble these up like its their last meal. But again, these chips are pretty expensive but my dogs really love them.
