Creatures of Empire: How Domestic Animals Transformed Early America
by: Anderson, Virginia DeJohn
When we think of the key figures of early American history, we think of
explorers, or pilgrims, or Native Americans--not cattle, or goats, or
swine. But as Virginia DeJohn Anderson reveals in this brilliantly original
account of colonists in New England and the Chesapeake region, livestock
played a vitally important role in the settling of the New World. Livestock,
Anderson writes, were a central factor in the cultural clash between colonists
and Indians as well as a driving force in the expansion west. By bringing
livestock across the Atlantic, colonists believed that they provided the
means to realize America's potential, a goal that Indians, who lacked
domestic animals, had failed to accomplish. Settlers believed that Indians
who learned to keep livestock would also advance along the path toward
civility and Christian faith. But colonists failed to anticipate that
the animals they hoped would convert Indians instead generated friction
between the two people as Indians encountered free-ranging livestock at
almost every turn, often trespassing in their cornfields. Moreover, concerned
about feeding their growing populations and committed to a style of husbandry
that required far more space than they had expected, colonists could see
no alternative but to appropriate Indian land. This created tensions that
reached the boiling point with King Philip's War and Bacon's Rebellion.
And it established a pattern that would repeat time and again over the
next two centuries. A stunning account that presents our history in a
truly new light, Creatures of Empire restores a vital element of our past,
illuminating one of the great forces of colonization and the expansion
westward. 322 pgs.
