"The book is rich in historical background and literary examples of the alleged German-Indian affinity and provides an excellent source for further study in this field."—Kerstin Knopf, American Studies “The volume’s contributions. . . . offer expert as well as non-expert readers rewarding insights and information. Especially refreshing are the close-up studies of colonial German immigrants and their relationship to other settlers and to Native American groups.”—Harry Liebersohn, American Historial Review “Rarely does one encounter a book that is as difficult to evaluate in brief as it is fascinating to read. . . . Since no comparable study of encounters between Germans and Indians exists, this book addresses a major void in the history of trans-Atlantic interaction. . . . In addition to its ambitious scope, it also provides an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary literature. Because of its variegated array of academic vocabularies and methodologies, this book will command the attention of anyone interested in the contemporary resonance and history of the multifaceted encounters that have taken place between Germans and the indigenous peoples of North America since the seventeenth century.”—Brian J. Boeck, H-Net Review
