by Richard Aguila.  Softbound, 285 pages, 6” x 9".  Beginning in 1701 the Iroquois, at their nadir, after twenty years of warring, sought to rebuild the confederacy.  By design or circumstance, they carried out sophisticated diplomatic relations with their Indian and white neighbors, gradually recouping much of their political, military and economic power.  The Iroquois helped shape the frontier, influencing westbound expansion, the fur trade, and colonial warfare.
