 Edward J. Dodson / A Chronology of the Colonial History of North America, Part 1
The story of how Europeans and the European-Americans born in North America fought for control over the land and its natural bounty with the people whose forefathers had lived on the continent for thousands of years is told by historian Allan W. Eckert in a manner matched by few other historians.
We are all deeply indebted to Allan Eckert for his enormous contribution to our understanding of what these people endured and accomplished, what they thought and felt, and the legacy they left for us to address and, in some sense, remedy in the quest for the just society.
It is neither the intention nor the desire of the author to champion either the cause of the Indians or that of the whites; there were heroes and rascals on both sides; humanity and atrocity on both sides; rights and wrongs on both sides.

 HISTORY
Though Allan Eckert's historical novel is dramatic, no amount of literature can truly capture Chief Blue Jacket's contempt toward the white man of the late 18th century frontier.
Like Eckert, other writers and historians characterize the era through names like Daniel Boone, Tecumseh, and Simon Kenton.
Eckert romanticizes Blue Jacket's life in his novels The Frontiersman and A Sorrow in Our Heart.

Volume IV of The Winning of America (Narratives of America) Series by Allan Eckert.
Wilderness War is an account of the contest between Royal Americans and the revolutionaries for the allegiance of the Iroquois Nation during the period of the American Revolution, its devastating effect upon settlers of both persuasions in the Wyoming and Mohawk Valleys, and of the Sullivan Campaign which all but destroyed Iroquois unity and power.

After enjoying "The Frontiersman" by Eckert, I was curious to see what he could do with children's literature.
I am so glad that I knew from the start that this was a true story or I would never have become so involved, instead I would have put the book down because the plot seemed so unbelievable.
I think this book is a gret book for anyone who can or wants to read it.

 An Unofficial Web Page for The Hab Theory, a novel by Allan W. Eckert
When he died, Brown left over 200,000 pages of notes to his daughter, who invited Allan W. Eckert to work the research into a science-fiction plot.
While managing to incorporate hundreds of Brown's findings into the book (it is this massive body of supporting evidence that makes the novel worth reading), Eckert did nobody a service by adding a shmaltzy, poorly told love story to the reality-based tale of an aged engineer desperate to be heard by a sceptical scientific establishment.
This book becomes especially significant in light of discoveries made since Brown's death -- discoveries that remove the "irremovable" barriers which scientific dogma had put in his path while he lived.
