Summary
"The Great Awakening of the 1740s was a religious revival of dramatic scope and violence that swept through the mid-Atlantic colonies, transforming 18th-century American society. The origins of the Awakening, however, argues Marilyn J. Westerkamp in this important revisionist study, were far removed from America in time and place. Examining the revivalist movement in Scotland, Ireland, and the middle colonies over a 135-year period, Westerkamp shows that the Awakening had its roots in Scots-Irish revivalism and travelled with Scots-Irish emigrants to the North American colonies. Hardly the spiritual innovation that it is sometimes represented to be, the Awakening was thus but one development in a longstanding revivalist tradition." [from Goodreads]

Summary
The Ambiguous Iroquois Empire: The Covenant Chain Confederation of the Indian Tribes with English Colonies is Francis Jennings's second volume of his trilogy about Indian-white relations in America. In this volume he looks at the Parkman view of the Iroquois Confederacy as an empire and exposes the shortcomings of Parkman's perspective. Jennings describes the idea of the covenant chain as the binding relationship between the Iroquois and English colonies from their beginnings to the Treaty of Lancaster in 1744. Jennings (1918-2002) was the former director of the Newberry Library Center for the History of the American Indian.

Bibliography: p. 233-238.
Summary
Lewis Miller was an artist in York, PA. He made sketches of 22 Hessian soldiers who fought for the British during the American revolution and stayed in the York area after its conclusion. The author's book is based on those Hessians. In the introduction, the author states, "The purpose of this paper is to consider the individual soldiers, their families,their lives, and their involvement in the York community in which they settled. What happened to these men after the Revolution ? Why did they choose the communities in which they settled. Were they accepted by the Americans ? Did they experience financial success ? What was the nature of their family life ? Did their families suffer the stigma of having a 'Hessian' patriarch."
