The text offers a firsthand account of the intrinsic moral worth and adaptability of Indigenous peoples, penned by a dynamic Native figure, a preacher and an intellectual, who was not reluctant to highlight the political and economic disparities maintained between settler and Indigenous cultures or bring attention to ongoing settler-colonial injustices. This new edition includes a rich selection of appendices, including Apess's other writings, works relating to the Pequot War, and other literature by Native and African American writers of the period. The edition situates Apess among the greatest writers of his day--a voice as important for our own times as it was for nineteenth-century audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrew Lopenzina is Professor of English at Old Dominion University and the author of \u003cem\u003eThrough an Indian's Looking-Glass: A Cultural Biography of William Apess, Pequot \u003c\/em\u003e (University of Massachusetts Press, 2017).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 246\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.51 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714335633682,"sku":"9781554816620","price":35.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/Di9Wm4jCoR9781554816620.webp?v=1789591911","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/a-son-of-the-forest-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
