Review of Great Lakes Creoles: A French-Indian Community on the Northern Borderlands, Prairie du Chien, 1750-1860, by Lucy Eldersveld Murphy, H-Net Reviews
Current Research
Late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century North America, with a focus on Native-settler relations and the creation of boundaries between nations and cultures. My dissertation, Contested Futures: Anishinaabeg and American Societies in the Great Lakes, 1790-1840, focuses on the Great Lakes borderlands during a pivotal period in the expansion of American colonialism and the containment of the British Empire in Canada. During these decades, natives and Americans offered competing narratives of Native persistence, land possession, and the future of the continent.
