The exploration of wilderness and political identities in the context of territorial expansion is central to this work. Thomas Hallock analyzes how Anglo-American writers in the revolutionary era employed pastoral imagery to assert their connection to the continent. Covering the period from the mid-eighteenth century to the time of Indian dispossession, the book reveals how these authors navigated the complexities of a fully populated frontier, intertwining themes of identity and landscape in their narratives.
