Brothers Among Nations
During the first eighty years of permanent European colonization, webs of alliances shaped North America from northern New England to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and entangled all peoples in one form or another. In Brothers among Nations, Cynthia Van Zandt argues that the pursuit of alliances was a widespread multiethnic quest that shaped the early colonial American world in fundamentally important ways. These alliances could produce surprising results, with Europeans sometimes subservient to more powerful Native American nations, even as native nations were sometimes clients and tributaries of European colonists. Spanning nine European colonies, including English, Dutch, and Swedish colonies, as well as many Native American nations and a community of transplanted Africans, Brothers among Nations enlists a broad array of sources to illuminate the degree to which European colonists were frequently among the most vulnerable people in North America and the centrality of Native Americans to the success of the European colonial project.

Edmund Roberts of New Hampshire
Edmund Roberts (1784-1836), of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, negotiated America’s first treaties with Asian powers. He secretly took part in the slave trade between Africa and Argentina, traded illegally with the British during the War of 1812, and brought ruin to his family with foolish investments. President Andrew Jackson appointed him in 1832 to negotiate commercial treaties with Vietnam, Siam, and Oman. Though failing in Vietnam, Roberts succeeded at Siam and Oman. The British linguist, John Robert Morrison, master of the Chinese language, proved critical to Roberts’s success at Siam. Roberts almost sabotaged his treaty with the Sultan of Oman when he illegally demanded restitution for previous business losses at Zanzibar. During his second mission (1835-1836), Roberts exchanged ratifications with Oman and Siam but died in Macao in June 1836. This biography, focusing on American commercial and diplomatic history, will be of significant worldwide interest to historians, scholars, and general readers.
Plymouth Colony
This is the first truly complete treatment of the history and genealogy of Plymouth Colony. It includes a concise history of the colony, both chronologically and topically, and more than 300 biographical sketches of its inhabitants. Richly documented and illustrated with maps and photographs, the three-dimensional Plymouth Colony: Its History & People, 1620-1691 was written for historians and genealogists alike and provides and in-depth view of this important epoch in American history. The researcher will find the verbatim transcriptions of important contemporary documents in the eleven appendices invaluable, and the annotated bibliography clearly describes the abundance of primary and secondary literature on Plymouth Colony. Mr. Stratton's work set a new standard worthy of emulation by all serious scholars.
