"Introduces us to extraordinary men and women and landmark events that shaped the American character and the future of the nation." —Thomas J. Craughwell, author of Failures of the Presidents and Stealing Lincoln's Body

Today Americans remember 1776 as the beginning of an era. A nation was born, commencing a story that continues to this day. But the War of Independence also marked the end of another era—one in which many nations, Native American and European, had struggled for control of a vast and formidable wilderness.

This book returns to that long-ago age in which the clash between America's first peoples and the newcomers from Europe was still new. Author Cormac O'Brien's masterful storytelling reveals how actors as diverse as Spanish conquistadores, Puritan ministers, Amerindian sachems, mercenary soldiers, and ordinary farmers traded and clashed across a landscape of constant, often violent, change—and how these dramatic moments helped to shape the world around us.

From the founding of the first permanent European settlement in North America (1565) to the bloody chaos of the British frontier in Pontiac's War (1763), this vividly written narrative spans the two centuries of American history before the Revolutionary War. These lesser-known conflicts of the past are brought brilliantly to life, showing us a world of heroism, brutality, and tenacity—and also showing us how deep the roots of our own time truly run. Illustrated with more than 100 archival images.

"Set against a grand landscape that inspires both awe and terror, The Forgotten History of America depicts a continent emerging as both a bloody battleground between Native Americans and Europeans and a place where alien cultures began to mesh." —Joseph Cummins, author of The World's Bloodiest History

英文| 2013年7月26日|国际标准图书编号：0785830588 | 304页|真正的EPUB | 177.47 MB “向我们介绍塑造美国性格和国家未来的非凡男女和具有里程碑意义的事件。”——托马斯·J·克劳威尔，《总统的失败》和《偷走林肯的尸体》的作者 今天，美国人记得1776年是一个时代的开始。一个国家诞生了，开始了一个延续至今的故事。但独立战争也标志着另一个时代的结束，在这个时代，许多国家，无论是美洲原住民还是欧洲人，都在为控制一片广阔而可怕的荒野而斗争。 这本书回到了很久以前的时代，在那个时代，美国原住民和欧洲新移民之间的冲突仍然是新的。作家科马克·奥布莱恩（Cormac O'Brien）精湛的故事讲述揭示了西班牙征服者、清教徒牧师、美洲印第安人酋长、雇佣兵和普通农民等不同的演员如何在不断变化的、往往是暴力的环境中交易和冲突，以及这些戏剧性的时刻如何帮助塑造我们周围的世界。 从1565年欧洲在北美建立第一个永久定居点到1763年庞蒂亚克战争中英国边境的血腥混乱，这段生动的叙述跨越了独立战争前两个世纪的美国历史。这些鲜为人知的过去冲突被精彩地呈现出来，向我们展示了一个英雄主义、残暴和坚韧的世界，也向我们展示出我们自己时代的根源有多深。配有100多张档案图片。 “《被遗忘的美国历史》描绘了一个大陆，它既是美洲原住民和欧洲人之间的血腥战场，也是外星文化开始融合的地方，背景是一个既令人敬畏又令人恐惧的壮丽景观。”——约瑟夫·康明斯，《世界上最血腥的历史》的作者
