One of the earliest memoirs by an American Indian, "Chainbreaker"
presents the recollections of a Seneca chief, also known as
Governor Blacksnake. A fighter in the American Revolution who lived
more than a century, Chainbreaker told his story as an old man in
the 1840s to a fellow Seneca, Benjamin Williams, who translated it
and committed it to paper. Epic in scale and yet intensely
personal, Chainbreaker's story provides a rare Native view of
warfare and diplomacy during a crucial period in American history.
His account is only fully available in this edition, featuring
extensive commentary by Thomas S. Abler.
