Bibliography
Dawn G. Marsh is an associate professor of history at Purdue University.
"With great insight and sensitivity, Dawn Marsh has pieced together Hannah Freeman's story. All who have ever wondered what happened to Pennsylvania's Native people should read this book." - Nancy Shoemaker, author of A Strange Likeness: Becoming Red and White in Eighteenth-Century North America "Using the closely examined life of a single eighteenth-century Native American woman, Dawn Marsh convincingly challenges Pennsylvania's claim to a more just and humane treatment of its indigenous peoples, persuasively contending that Native Americans adopted complex strategies to preserve their cultural heritage, and explores the significance of the continuing mythology of 'Indian Hannah' Freeman - all in a good read." - Melton McLaurin, author of Celia, A Slave "Uses the life of a Lenape Indian woman (1730-1802) in Chester Country, Pennyslyvania, to examine her and her people's struggles" - Chronicle of Higher Education
