Frontier: the word carries the inevitable scent of the West. But before Custer or Lewis and Clark, before the first Conestoga wagons rumbled across the Plains, it was the East that marked the frontier - the boundary between complex Native cultures and the first colonizing Europeans.Here is the older, wilder, darker history of a time when the land between the Atlantic and the Appalachians was contested ground - when radically different societies adopted and adapted the ways of the other, while struggling for control of what all considered to be their land.

The First Frontier traces two and a half centuries of history through poignant, mostly unheralded personal stories - like that of a Harvard-educated Indian caught up in seventeenth-century civil warfare, a mixed-blood interpreter trying to straddle his white and Native heritage, and a Puritan woman wielding a scalping knife whose bloody deeds still resonate uneasily today. It is the first book in years to paint a sweeping picture of the Eastern frontier, combining vivid storytelling with the latest research to bring to life modern America’s tumultuous, uncertain beginnings.

The first couple chapters are dull but necessary to understand the book. When I got into it I found it absorbing and extremely well done. Well researched but with a few liberties. Overall a good listen.

I consider myself a decent student of History, but the overwhelming majority of this book has been completely missing form my education. the begging years of what I knew of America is completely different, new, and foreign to me.
This book was an eye opener to me and is a great summary of so many things I had no idea happened at all. Great reading, well researched, worthy of your time!

This is exciting research, well written. The reading is droning, almost mechanical. The pronunciation of especially French names is utterly shameful.

Great text, tolerable reading

The narrator often sounded like A.I. or computer generated. If you can get past the awkward narration, the story itself is fascinating.

Good story, bad narrator

Excellent!! One of the best I have read on pre-Revolutionary America. I strongly recommend it. I bought the hardback version to read it again!

Great Book on Early America

This is not your cliff-notes history book. The author takes a broad look at history, and then zooms in to incredible depth and detail that is sometimes hard to believe we even have.

The beginning of this book reminds me of the Sagan quote: “if you wish to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” So to understand American history, you’ve got to go back 20-30,000 years, and I absolutely love it.

If you’re like me and you read/listen to history specifically to get the full-context, no detail or perspective spared approach, you will definitely enjoy this masterpiece.

Depth, Granularity, And Incredible detail

The natives suffered for our success. That was innevitable, but regrettable. All of us here benefit now from that.
