Beschreibungen/Notizen
According to Byrd, the Quakers, who have treated the Indians with justice and kindness, as well as the French, who have adopted a policy of intermarriage, are the only Europeans who have fostered successful relationships with Natives (10). [...] even as it touts European and specifically Virginian preeminence in America, Byrd's introduction grants Natives a central role in the creation of Euro-American history and place, and by extension in Byrd's own narrative project, the "history" of a "dividing line."
