Sir William Johnson and the Six Nations

"Sir William Johnson and the Six Nations" by William Elliot Griffis

Johnson lived much of his life in the fairest portion of the domain of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. As 1st Baronet of New York, a British Army officer and colonial administrator from Ireland, he moved to the new world to help establish the colonies and make treaties with the Native Americans who already lived on the land. This pre-Revolutionary War era history is rarely discussed and is fascinating to anyone who is interested in the Americas.
