Summary
The survey of our relations with the Mohawk Indians during the eighteenth century is the principal theme of this volume, which has been largely compiled from the Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York collected by J. R. Brodhead, and original MS. letters and documents in the Archives of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.
In writing this book it has been my endeavour to illustrate the importance of the political (apart from the evangelistic) aspect of the Society's labours in establishing and cementing the English alliance with the Mohawks, which became an essential factor in our colonial expansion in North America. For this reason the earlier chapters are divided into convenient periods corresponding to the progress of the Society's work among the tribe.
