James H. Merrell's account details the lives and work of cultural go-betweens on the Pennsylvania frontier. The text covers the period from the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, examining efforts to maintain peace between European colonists and Native Americans. It reflects on wilderness meanings and the eventual failure of diplomacy leading to war after 1750.
