"Andrew Lipman's eye-opening first book is the previously untold story of how the
ocean became a "frontier" between colonists and Indians. When the English and Dutch
empires both tried to claim the same patch of coast between the Hudson River and Cape
Cod, the sea itself became the arena of contact and conflict. During the violent European
invasions, the region's Algonquian-speaking Natives were navigators, boatbuilders,
fishermen, pirates, and merchants who became active players in the emergence of the
Atlantic World. Drawing from a wide range of English, Dutch, and archeological sources,
Lipman uncovers a new geography of Native America that incorporates seawater as well
as soil. Looking past Europeans' arbitrary land boundaries, he reveals unseen links
between local episodes and global events on distant shores."--Publisher's description
