What Myths Turned Americans into Killers?

Pros: Clearly written. Chronological review of major elements (Indian wars, captivity, wilderness) behind myths of America. Cons: Persistently but lightly rhetorical and argumentative. Repetitions and summaries are not infrequent and very didactic. The Bottom Line: Want to understand the mythic images white Americans have of themselves? Read REGENERATION THROUGH VIOLENCE. Americans are what they are because of wars with and failure to understand native Indians.
