The Iroquois In The American Revolution.

Plot

"This book is the first full-length study of the Iroquois in the American Revolution. It examines in detail the diplomatic negotiations between the Six Nations and the British and American antagonists during the early years of the Revolution and reveals the severe pressures placed upon the Indians by their warring white neighbors. To understand why it was almost an impossibility for the Iroquois to remain neutral and why their Confederacy finally fragmented, one must examine the long and intricate relations of the Six Nations Indians with the whites and take into account the impact of white contact and culture upon Iroquois society."-- Preface.
