Simon Girty

Více o knize

Simon Girty, a controversial figure during the American Revolution, instilled fear in U.S. settlers due to his close ties with Native Americans and his role as a British Indian agent. Living among Natives, he faced scorn from white frontiersmen and was labeled an outlaw by Americans, while being celebrated as a Loyalist hero in Canada. His actions, including leading Native raids and advocating for their rights, raise questions about his legacy. Was he a villain or a misunderstood champion of Native causes against American expansion?
