What an excellent book! The editor deserves much praise due to the fact of the excellent editing and focusing on interesting observations of the North East Native Americans by early settlers and explorers of North America. From the first recorded encounter by the Dutch, English and French to later observations by settlers and villagers each observation of various Indian Tribes (Huron, Mohawk, Alganquin, etc) is described in an interesting and easy to read prose, no doubt due to the excellent editing by the editor Ronald Dale Karr.
It is excellent that a book finally describes observations of Native Americans and their way of life in the Northeast by explorers and settlers. At first very friendly relations between the two cultures (Europeans and Native Americans) flourished, but unfortunately the greed and exploitation of the Native Americans sealed their fate in the Northeast and eventually spread west and south to all Native American Tribes.
This is a book that vividly describes the customs, clothing, ceremonies, and types of food the Northeast Indians had during Colonial America and I learned alot more and wish that they were still here is the U.S. so we could respect and learn from them and ultimately ourselves.
Highly Recommended reading to all U.S. History/Native American Historians.

First hand account from European colonists
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2019
Very interesting and informative read. I highly recommend this book. There were many eye opening things I read and learned. For this post I wanted to share an excerpt about the “Pequot War of 1636-37”. I’ve read about this atrocity, but it was a whole different mind trip reading a first hand account from a European commander.
