Book Description

Behind the Frontier tells the story of the Indians in Massachusetts as English settlements encroached on their traditional homeland between 1675 and 1775, from King Philip's War to the Battle of Bunker Hill. Daniel R. Mandell explores how local needs and regional conditions shaped an Indian ethnic group that transcended race, tribe, village, and clan, with a culture that incorporated new ways while maintaining a core of Indian customs. He examines the development of Native American communities in eastern Massachusetts, many of which survive today, and observes emerging patterns of adaptation and resistance that were played out in different settings as the American nation grew westward in the nineteenth century.

Author Bio

Daniel Mandell has been on the Truman faculty since 1999, teaching early America, Native American history, and the history of American law.  His book The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America, 1600-1870, will be published by Johns Hopkins University Press in spring 2020.

In 2018-2019, Prof. Mandell was Distinguished Research Fellow at the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy at the University of Missouri, beginning a study of the conundrum between individual and collective rights in the U.S. highlighted by the evolution of Native American policies and laws.

In 2016, Mandell received the Distinguished Literary Achievement award from the Missouri Humanities Council in recognition of his many publications on Native Americans in New England between 1600 and 1900. King Philip’s War: Colonial Expansion, Native Resistance, and the End of Indian Sovereignty (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010) was named an “Outstanding Academic Title” by the American Library Association’s Choice magazine. Tribe, Race, History: Native Americans in Southern New England, 1780-1880 (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008), was given the inaugural Lawrence Levine Award in 2008 by the Organization of American Historians for the best book on American cultural history.  He has also written King Philip’s War: The Conflict Over New England  (Chelsea House Publications, 2007); the Northern and Western New England Treaties and Southern New England Treaties volumes (nos. 19 and 20) in the series Early American Indian Documents: Treaties and Laws (University Press of America, 2003); and Behind the Frontier: Indians in Eighteenth-Century Eastern Massachusetts (University of Nebraska Press, 1996).  Prof. Mandell has also published various articles in edited collections, encyclopedias, and journals including the Journal of American History and the William and Mary Quarterly.

Mandell earned his doctorate and masters degrees in History from the University of Virginia, and a masters degree in Urban and Environmental Policy from Tufts University.  He has received research fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and various other agencies.  He is an elected member of: the American Antiquarian Society, a scholarly society and research library over 200 years old that holds the largest collection of materials printed in North America; the Massachusetts Historical Society, the oldest historical research society in the United States; and the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.
