The era following the American War of Independence was one of
enormous conflict for the Allegany Senecas. As the most influential
Seneca leader of his time, Cornplanter led his people in war and
along an often troubled path to peace. This incisive biography
traces his rise to prominence as a Seneca military leader during
the American Revolution and his later diplomatic success in
negotiations with the Federal government. The book also explores
Cornplanter's dealings with other Native American councils and with
his own people. It explains how Senecas faced heavy pressure to
sell their lands, and how they concurrently embraced a reformed and
revitalized Iroquois religion, as inspired by Cornplanter's
visionary half-brother, Handsome Lake. Thomas S. Abler skillfully
weaves together previously discordant strands of the Chief
Warrior's life into a concise, animated, and enlightening portrait.
Even as Cornplanter examines a critical period in American history,
it gives us a multidimensional knowledge of politics and diplomacy
from the Seneca point of view.
