A Companion to American Indian History

This article seeks how best to understand the history of humankind as a whole by
emphasizing communications and transportation networks. It summarizes the principal
consequences of major changes in the range and carrying capacity of these networks,
with reflections on the role of the West in recent centuries. During these centuries
Europeans enjoyed a brief experience of world dominance, thanks to an initial monopoly
of modern forms of mechanically powered transport and electrical communication,
only to see their dominant position decline as other peoples have caught up with them
in our own time.

“In the Land of Canaan:” Religious Revival and Republican Politics in Early Kentucky

The pre-Columbian culture of the Mississippi woodlands has received surprisingly little attention from historians. Studying this culture, which was in many respects highly advanced, opens an entirely new perspective on what we are used to thinking of as "American" history. This essay by a distinguished historian and teacher is aimed at world history classes and other classes that cover the Americas before the arrival of the Europeans.
