American Indians from Contact to the New Republic: "Times are Altered With Us" presents a concise and engaging introduction to the turbulent 300-year-period of history of Native American-European engagement from 1492 until 1800. Historian and Native American expert Roger Carpenter takes the reader on a sweeping narrative journey of the early years of conquest and colonization, showing how American Indians went from being greeted by and engaged in trade with Europeans to an ultimate clash of cultures and civilizations. Carpenter explores the rapid decline in American Indian populations due to epidemic Old World diseases, genocide and warfare by explorers and colonists, tribal warfare, displacement from lands, and other factors. Revealing and at times deeply unsettling, this book offers illuminating insights into the history of European settlement and the fate of America's native population.
