Books by Francis Jennings

"We have lived upon this land from days beyond history's records." These are the words of a Pueblo man, words that describe the experience of Native Americans. They underlie the long work and philosophy of Francis Jennings-the scholar who has done the most to change our view of the relationship of Native Americans and the European settlers.

Winner of the Distinguished Book Award of the Society of Colonial Wars.

A portrait of one of the founding fathers in American colonial history, Benjamin Franklin. Uncovering details of his life omitted from his autobiography, this book presents him as a man of genius and enormous ego. It also reveals Franklin's struggle against Thomas Penn and the British government.

This alternative history of the American Revolution, first published in 2000, portrays the colonists as conquerors. The revolution was an attempt to create not a democracy but an empire independent of Britain. To support his claims, the author includes information on the involuntary participation of Indians and blacks in addition to the usual players.
