Books by Edward J. Cashin

By following the career of one influential trader (Lachlan McGillivray) from 1736 to 1776, Cashin presents a historical perspective of the frontier, as a zone of interaction between many cultures. Cashin profiles the figures who catalyzed the power struggles and explains events from the vantage points of traders and Native Americans.

The King's Ranger explores not only military history but also such aspects of the American past as colonial migration, upheaval in the backcountry... and the formation of new settlements in the Caribbean.
