A second motif in Neal's work is his literary use of the Indian. Neal's use of history and the national past as a third motif was direct and uncomplicated. The study concludes with an appreciation of Neal as one of the more interesting and illuminating writers during the period when American nationalism was at its zenith as a catalyst for literature.
