"William Penn established Pennsylvania in 1682 as a "holy experiment" in which Europeans
and Indians could live together in harmony. In this book, historian Kevin Kenny explains
how this Peaceable Kingdom--benevolent, Quaker, pacifist--gradually disintegrated
in the eighteenth century, with disastrous consequences for Native Americans ... Based
on extensive research in eighteenth-century primary sources, this ... history offers
an eye-opening look at how colonists--at first, the backwoods Paxton Boys but later
the U.S. government--expropriated Native American lands, ending forever the dream
of colonists and Indians living together in peace."--Publisher's description
