Thundersticks: Firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780674737471)

David Silverman argues against the notion that Indians prized flintlock muskets more for their pyrotechnics than for their efficiency as tools of war. Native peoples fully recognized the potential of firearms to assist them in their struggles against colonial forces, and mostly against one another, as arms races erupted across North America.
