The Ordeal of the Longhouse

The Peoples of the Iroquois League in the Era of European Colonization

by Daniel K Richter

Instead, I hope to reach historians, students, and interested readers who still too often exclude native peoples from the narrative mainstream of North American development. This is a story of European colonization viewed from the Indian side of the frontier.
