Territorial Crossings: Histories and Historiographies of the Early Americas
Nationalist preoccupations have fragmented the histories and historiographies of the early Americas, so that colonial history--whether of Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Peru, or the US--has most often been understood as the precursor to a national story. Integrative impulses have emerged periodically among historians aspiring to transcend such boundaries, but daunting barriers often limit their success. Not only nationalist impulses but also language differences, fragmented audiences, and limiting or conflicting institutional imperatives all work against attempts to understand the history of the Americas as a single story. The newest round of integrative efforts inspired a workshop held at the Henry E. Huntington Library in May 2009, \"Territorial Crossings: Histories and Historiographies of the Early Americas.\" Here, Hinderaker and Horn consider the workshop essays in light of the larger contexts for such efforts and offer additional thoughts on how scholars interested in territorial and conceptual crossings might best move forward.

The Red Atlantic: American Indigenes and the Making of the Modern World, 1000–1927
In chapter 2, for example, Weaver introduces us in turn to Francis Pegahmagabow, an Anishinaabe who \"became the top sniper in the Canadian army\" (100) in World War I; Garcilaso de la Vega, the son of a Spanish soldier and an Inca princess who traveled to Spain, enlisted in the army, and helped suppress a Moorish rebellion before returning to Peru to write his Royal Commentaries, a scathing critique of Spanish colonization; Captain Louis Jackson, a Kanawake Mohawk who led a unit of fifty-six Mohawk volunteers to serve as boatmen in Britain's relief of Khartoum in 1885; and Paul Teenah, an Apache Indian who served in the US Army in Cuba in 1898. [...]his most sustained readings of literary texts-in chapter 5, on the literature of the Red Atlantic-deal entirely with American Indian characters invented by European or Euro-American writers, including Voltaire, Susanna Rowson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Karl May.
