Aristocratic Encounters: European Travelers and North American Indians
Liebersohn, Harry (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
This 1999 book relates how an aristocratic discourse on American Indians took shape in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Titled and educated European visitors to North America, with the background of the French Revolution in mind, developed a new belief in their affinity with the warrior elites of Indian societies.
