- Title
Do We Reverse the Medal? Settler Guilt, the Indian Speech, and the Untold Side of the Story.
- Authors
WEAVER-HIGHTOWER, REBECCA
- Abstract
An essay is presented on American settler colonial frontier evident in the 19th-century novels "The Mingo Chief" by Emerson Bennett, "The Young Ranchmen: Or Perils of Pioneering in the Wild West" by Charles Kenyon, and "The Yemassee: A Romance of Carolina" by William Gilmore Simms. It examines the connections among prior analyses by revealing the psychosocial impulses behind settler literature, particularly expressions of guilt and ambivalence.
