"Iroquois Journey" is the warm and illuminating memoir of William
N. Fenton (1908-2005), a leading scholar who shaped Iroquois
studies and modern anthropology in America. The memoir reveals the
ambitions and struggles of the man and the many accomplishments of
the anthropologist, the complex and sometimes volatile milieu of
Native-white relations in upstate New York in the twentieth
century, and key theoretical and methodological developments in
American anthropology. Fenton's memoir, completed shortly before
his death, takes us from his ancestors' lives in the Conewango
Valley in western New York to his education at Yale. It affords
valuable insights into the decades of his celebrated fieldwork
among the Senecas, his distinguished scholarship at the Bureau of
American Ethnology in Washington, DC, and his research at the New
York State Museum in Albany. Offering portraits of legendary
scholars he encountered and enriched through wonderful personal
anecdotes, Fenton's memoir is a testament to the importance of
anthropology and a reminder of how much the field has changed over
the years.
