Description

The Indian World of George Washington: The First President, the First Americans, and the Birth of the NationGeorge Washington's place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure. Yet American history has largely forgotten

George Washington's place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story--from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States--reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure.

Yet American history has largely forgotten what Washington himself knew clearly: that the new Republic's fate depended less on grand rhetoric of independence and self-governance and more on land--Indian land. Colin G. Calloway's biography of the greatest founding father reveals in full the relationship between Washington and the Native leaders he dealt with intimately across the decades: Shingas, Tanaghrisson, Guyasuta, Attakullakulla, Bloody Fellow, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Red Jacket, and Little Turtle, among many others. Using the prism of Washington's life to bring focus to these figures and the tribes they represented--the Iroquois Confederacy, Lenape, Miami, Creek, Delaware--Calloway reveals how central their role truly was in Washington's, and therefore the nation's, foundational narrative.

Calloway gives the First Americans their due, revealing the full extent and complexity of the relationships between the man who rose to become the nation's most powerful figure and those whose power and dominion declined in almost equal degree during his lifetime. His book invites us to look at America's origins in a new light. The Indian World of George Washington is a brilliant portrait of both the most revered man in American history and those whose story during the tumultuous century in which the country was formed has, until now, been only partially told.

Great quality. Don’t think it twice and buy!
Size: 100 Count
When I bought this plates I was not so sure of the quality of the material however, they exceeded my expectations. They are thick and durable. The design and color were perfect and matched with my decoration. The amount of plates for the value was a great deal and I will definitely buy them again and again. Trust me when I say I don’t like most of the disposable paper plates out there and this make a huge difference with how good quality they are and how inexpensive they’re.

Strong Enough for Everyday Use, No Surprises
Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
These are exactly what you want from everyday disposable plates. They’re sturdy enough to handle normal meals without bending or soaking through, even with heavier or messier foods. I’ve used them for things like pasta and leftovers, and they held up better than expected for a budget option. The 10-inch size is a good middle ground, big enough for full meals but not oversized. They also hold up fine in the microwave without getting too soft. They’re still paper plates at the end of the day, so if you’re loading them up with really heavy or greasy food, you might want to double up just to be safe. Overall, these are a reliable, no-frills option that works well for daily use, gatherings, or quick cleanup situations.
