Paperback book. Approximately 7 x 9.25 sized book. Author, Barbara Graymont, Frank W. Porter III, General Editor. Chelsea House, Publishers. The spine is tight, straight. Minor shelf wear. Pages are clean of markings, no highlights, no tears, however, there is water stain damage on the top right corner, approximately 1-2 inches on the first 20 _+ pages, very lightly tanned. Total 128 pages. The book is discounted to allow for this imperfection of the book. The light stain is noticeable, but does not prevent being able to read where the stain shows, other pages are fine. "The Iroquois traditionally lived in what is now upstate New York, subsisting on wild plant foods, game, and fish from the area's fertile forests and teeming waterways, along with corn, beans, and squash. Long ago the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca tribes formed the Leaque of the Five nations. Despite its ideal of cooperation, the Leaque was fearsome in war as it attempted to extend its rule." The story continues. "The Iroquois battles in recent years have been legal ones as they resisted efforts to build public works projects on their lands. The Ironquois live today in cities and on reservations in Canada, New York, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma." These could be some of your relatives from years ago, you just might want to read about them. Education is a good thing. A very good book and interesting to read for a very good price.
