DESCRIPTION
Winner of the 2023 National Book Award for Nonfiction, The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History by historian Ned Blackhawk offers a sweeping reexamination of American history, placing Native peoples at the center of the nation's story rather than at its margins.
Spanning five centuries, Blackhawk explores how Indigenous nations shaped the political, cultural, and social development of the United States. From early encounters with European colonizers and the American Revolution to the Civil War and twentieth-century movements for Native American self-determination, he reveals the essential role Indigenous communities have played in shaping the country.
Drawing on extensive historical research, Blackhawk challenges familiar narratives of American expansion and nation-building. He examines how Native nations influenced colonial conflicts, American diplomacy, federal policies, and the development of the West, while highlighting the resilience, sovereignty, and continued presence of Indigenous peoples.
Both ambitious and accessible, The Rediscovery of America offers readers a richer understanding of the nation's past and encourages a more complete perspective on American identity. An important addition to the shelves of history enthusiasts, educators, students, and anyone interested in Native American history and the foundations of the United States.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
