Old soldiours trained up in the Netherlands
Recent scholarship on early modern Ireland and England emphasizes the importance of Continental affairs to domestic society, culture, and politics. Similarly, this article proposes the Low Countries as an important context for early English colonization. Warfare on the European Continent, particularly in the Low Countries, profoundly shaped England's first permanent American colonial venture in Virginia. It informed English ideas about the nation…
War and Politics
European colonists often remarked upon the differences between Native Americans’ way of war and their own. Indians, colonists asserted, were reluctant to absorb casualties and fought for captives, revenge, and personal glory rather than for political reasons such as territorial expansion. Historians have too often taken such claims at face value. Broad generalizations about low-risk tactics and individual or kin-group motives for Indigenous warfa…
Early American Environmental Histories
Environmental history came of age as a distinctive field, with its own journal and professional association, in the 1970s and 1980s. A disproportionate number of the most enduringly influential publications from that era centered on or dealt extensively with early America, but from 1990 until fairly recently environmental historians shifted their attention toward other times and places. This essay uses that divergence, together with a recent revi…
Anglo-Native Virginia
Most scholarly work on colonial Virginia has been written as if Native Americans were central to English colonial life during the Jamestown era (1607–24), but of only marginal importance after English victories in the Second Anglo-Powhatan War (1622–32) or, at the latest, after the Anglo-Powhatan War of 1644–46. Kristalyn Shefveland contends, however, that one cannot understand post-1646 Virginia without fully incorporating Native Americans into …

Beyond “The Ecological Indian” and “Virgin Soil Epidemics”
Indians figured prominently in many of the now‐classic works that helped to define the burgeoning new field of environmental history during the 1970s and 1980s. Although a great deal of new and interesting work on Native Americans and the environment has been conducted since 1990, most of it has been produced not by scholars who think of themselves as environmental historians, but rather by archaeologists, anthropologists, historians of Native Am…
Bacon's Rebellion in Indian Country
Bacon's Rebellion, a bitter civil war that convulsed the key English colony of Virginia in 1676, has long been considered one of the most significant events in American history. It is a fixture of high school and university courses, textbooks, and scholarly writing. Although the rebellion was condemned as treason by colonial-era writers, after the American Revolution it came to be regarded as an important step in the rise of freedom and democracy…

Law as Litigation
R. POLE offers us set of reflections on and the American Revolution, not considered interpretation based on extensive research. His observations are interesting, at times striking, but they are also tentative, fragmentary, and, at various points, improperly posed-or so it seems to us. We have accordingly seen our task as one of restatement, using Pole's remarks to outline an agenda for further research. Pole makes two major claims. First, he argu…
