Our Life Among The Iroquois Indians (1892) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436588959)

""Our Life Among The Iroquois Indians"" is a memoir written by Harriet S. Caswell in 1892. The book describes the author's experiences living among the Iroquois Indians in the mid-19th century. Caswell and her family moved to a remote area of New York State in the 1850s, where they became the first white settlers in the region. They quickly formed close relationships with the local Iroquois community, learning from them and sharing their own knowledge and skills. The book provides a fascinating look into the daily life of the Iroquois people, including their customs, traditions, and beliefs. Caswell describes their hunting and fishing practices, their agricultural techniques, and their social organization. She also shares stories of her own interactions with the Iroquois, including her friendship with a young girl named Owhi, who became like a sister to her. ""Our Life Among The Iroquois Indians"" offers a unique perspective on Native American life during a time of great change in American history. It provides valuable insights into the ways in which different cultures can interact and learn from each other, and it celebrates the resilience and strength of the Iroquois people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
