Williams emphasizes, however, that Boone does not try “to be an Indian,” (“though they eagerly sought to adopt him into their tribes”).
Instead, as Williams argues in the “Prologue,” “the New World is Montezuma or, since he was stoned to death in a parley, Gautemozin who had the city of Mexico leveled over him before he was taken” (24).
