Osprey Men-at-Arms №395. Michael G. Johnson. Tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy

Osprey Publishing, 2003. — 50 p. — ISBN: 1841764906.The Five (later Six) Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy were central to the story of the white colonization of the American Northeast. The European fur trade transformed their world, and the struggles between English and French colonists forced the tribes to take sides. Sir William Johnson's efforts in the Mohawk Valley ensured that the Iroquois Nations were allies of the British crown; and the loyalty of his kinsman Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea) during the American Revolution forced the Mohawks into Canadian exile.
