Over a 30 year career, Professor Daniel Mandell has produced a body of work that tells the story of New England Native Americans from the time of first European contact through the formation of the United States and its expansion. He will discuss their experiences during the upheavals of the American Revolutionary period.   

Daniel Mandell is Professor of History Emeritus, Truman State University, and now lives in Worcester and occasionally teaches at Worcester Polytechnic University. His most recent book, The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America, 1600-1870, was published in spring 2020. Since earning his Ph.D. at the University of Virginia in 1992, most of his research has focused on Natives Americans in New England, including the books King Philip's War (2010); Behind the Frontier: Indians in Eighteenth-Century Eastern Massachusetts (1996); and Tribe, Race, History: Native Americans in Southern New England, 1780-1880 (2008), to which the Organization of American Historians gave the inaugural Lawrence Levine Award for best book on American cultural history.
