Kathleen DuVal. The Native Ground: Indians and Colonists in the Heart of the Continent. (Early American Studies.) Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press. 2006. Pp. 320. $45.00.

Kathleen DuVal's first book is an engagingly written, clearly argued effort to convince American historians of the need to come to terms with "the Native Ground." At one level, doing so simply means dealing with a place that early Americanists routinely neglect: the Arkansas Valley, which in DuVal's terms encompasses the area between modern-day Arkansas and Missouri's eastern border at the Mississippi River and northeastern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. Exemplary recent work by Alan Taylor (DuVal's mentor) and Colin Calloway notwithstanding, early Americanists do overlook this area. DuVal's book—and the fact that it appears in the prestigious "Early American Studies" list from the University of Pennsylvania's McNeil Center—is a welcome corrective to that sort of myopia.
