The newest addition to the Penguin Library of American Indian
History explores the most influential Native American Confederacy
More than perhaps any other Native American group, the Iroquois
found it to their advantage to interact with and adapt to white
settlers. Despite being known as fierce warriors, the Iroquois were
just as reliant on political prowess and sophisticated diplomacy to
maintain their strategic position between New France and New York.
Colonial observers marveled at what Benjamin Franklin called their
"method of doing business" as Europeans learned to use Iroquois
ceremonies and objects to remain in their good graces. Though the
Iroquois negotiated with the colonial governments, they refused to
be pawns of European empires, and their savvy kept them in control
of much of the Northeast until the American Revolution. "Iroquois
Diplomacy and the Early American Frontier" is a must-read for
anyone fascinated by Native American history or interested in a
unique perspective on the dawn of American government.
