Abstract

270 nineteenth-century literature America. To make this work, Bryant needs to play down not just the facts of Spanish prior occupation but also the similarities between Spanish and English settlement, so as to conceal what she calls ‘‘the enduring structure of settler colonialism’’ (p. 229). This sets the scene for a brief discussion of the justifications for divesting Native people of their lands though the Dawes Act, via the appearance of Don Luis in Alice Fletcher’s writings on Indian ‘‘reform,’’ and the opposition to her from the Osage Francis La Flesche. We then move to Paul Green’s play The Lost Colony, first staged in 1937. Still regularly performed, this work celebrates the settlement in Roanoke, North Carolina, as rival to James- town as the first settlement, and manages to efface Spanish parallels or connections such as Walter Raleigh’s extensive interest in South Amer- ica, as well as issues of slavery and race. Brickhouse’s final text in The Unsettlement of America not only cri- tiques Green’s play and its claims, but actually presents Don Luis as the protagonist and hero. James Branch Cabell’s little-known The First Gen- tleman of America: A Comedy of Conquest,written in 1941,uses manyof the same sources
