For centuries the Western view of the Iroquois was clouded by the myth that they were the supermen of the frontier--"the Romans of this Western World," as De Witt Clinton called them in 1811. Only in recent years have scholars come to realize the extent to which Europeans had exaggerated the power of the Iroquois. First published in 1987, Beyond the Covenant Chain was one of the first studies to acknowledge fully that the Iroquois never had an empire. It remains the best study of diplomatic and military relations among Native American groups in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century North America. Published in paperback for the first time, it features a new introduction by Richter and Merrell. Contributors include Douglas W. Boyce, Mary A. Druke-Becker, Richard L. Haan, Francis Jennings, Michael N. McConnell, Theda Perdue, and Neal Salisbury.

Scattered underlining and markings in ink. *Autographed by author. * "At the center of the story are the nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, traditionally believed to wield imperial dominion over many of their native neighbors. The Iroquois depicted in these essays are less domineering of others and more divided among themselves than they have generally appeared in previous scholarship. Yet it cannot be denied that they were significant actors on the early American stage. Iroquois traders, warriors, and ambassadors ranged from New England and New France to Virginia and the Carolinas, from the Atlantic coast to the banks of the Mississippi. Their exploits illuminate a host of different peoples and permit the study of a wide variety of contact, friendly and unfriendly."-Syracuse University Press.
