"An impressive, conceptually adept and ambitiously argued book ... grounded in extraordinarily deep archival research ... clearly written and structured, as well as being cleverly and convincingly argued.”

The National Archives is full of old fossils.
No, not the staff/visitors - I mean this report of mastodon remains found along the Ohio River, included as a brief annotation in this map of lands ceded in 1768 Fort Stanwix treaty.
Either that or a REALLY big bison.

Historians are a weird bunch. Is it normal that we see a huge volume like this one and think: “ok, I’ll go through all these hundreds of pages with so-so handwriting to find the half a dozen documents that might be of interest?” 🤷🏻♂️
