In FORGOTTEN FOUNDERS, Bruce Johansen has written an exciting book, one
that broadens the basis of American history, enriches the national heritage,
and deepens our understanding of the freedom we all share.
Calling on Benjamin Franklin as his chief witness, Dr. Johansen shows
us how the primitive, but surprisingly democratic and enlightened culture of
the American Indian, clarified the thinking of immigrant colonists and even of
the world beyond our shores -- a world tired of the elaborate hierarchies of
kings and nobles and the inherited miseries of their subjects. To the European,
America was another planet. Franklin saw in it the shadow of an imperfect but
practical Utopia.
During the first half of the eighteenth century, the Six Nations of the
Iroquois were our allies in England's war with France. They may be seen as the
friends and equals of our Colonial statesmen. On both sides, there were those
who spoke the other's language fluently. White man and red man sat together
around the Indian Council fires and the record of what they said exists today.
The Byzantine army of the 10th and early 11th centuries, at the height of its power and efficiency, was the best organised, best trained, best equipped and highest paid in the known world.
This splendid book by Ian Heath examines the Byzantine Armies from 886 - 1118.
