Transnational lives : biographies of global modernity, 1700-present

Abstract

In the mid-eighteenth century, the son of an Odawa woman and a French man allied himself with Indians and the French in the North American Great Lakes area to combat British power. Later — according to the multiple legends of his life — he defended the British, combated rebellious American colonists, raised Indian warriors to fight against the expanding American republic and then settled in Wisconsin, where he and his family are known as the first permanent ‘European’ settlers in the state.
