Quotes by Paul S. Boyer (?)

“Christopher Columbus himself established the template for the newcomers’ view of the aboriginal population. “They ought to make good and skilled servants,” he wrote; “I think they can very easily be made Christians. … I could conquer the whole of them with 50 men, and govern them as I please.”

“Contemporary Americans, immersed in the busy rhythms of twenty-first-century life, rarely pause to reflect that they dwell in a land that has been inhabited for millennia. Human settlement on the continent we call North America (after the Florentine cartographer Amerigo Vespucci) began at least 15,000 years ago,”

“By 1500, the North American population comprised an estimated seven to ten million people.”
