A Discourse on the Aborigines of the Valley of the Ohio

In this insightful and provocative work, William Henry Harrison challenges prevailing views on the role of the Iroquois or Six Nations in the conquest of the Ohio Valley in the seventeenth century. Using evidence from various sources, including Cadwallader Colden, Governor Pownal, Dr. Franklin, and the Hon. De Witt, he presents a compelling argument for a new interpretation of these events.
