Description
The participation of the Iroquois of Akwasasne, Kanesetake (Oka), Kahnawake and Oswegatchie in the Seven Years’ War is a long neglected topic. The consequences of this struggle still shape Canadian history. The book looks at the social and economic impact of the war on both men and women in Canadian Iroquois communities. The Canadian Iroquois provides an enhanced appreciation both of the role of Amerindians in the war itself and of their difficult struggle to lead their lives within the unstable geopolitical environment created by European invasion and settlement.
About the authors
Dr. Peter MacLeod is the pre-Confederation historian at the Canadian War Museum, where he curated the exhibition 1812. A longstanding student of 18th-century Canada, he is the author of The Canadian Iroquois and The Seven Years’ War (published in French as Les Iroquois et la guerre de sept ans) and Northern Armageddon: The Battle of the Plains of Abraham (published in French as La vérité sur la bataille des Plaines d’Abraham). He lives in Ottawa, Ontario.
Editorial Reviews
"This fascinating book follows the fortunes of the Iroquois during each of the major campaigns. MacLeod convincingly portrays the Iroqouis as loyal and knowledgable partners in the French enterprise."
Canadian Book Review Annual
“MacLeod’s book is a valuable addition to the canon of literature on the Seven Years War.”
