Anthony Wallace (19123-2015) wasa prize-winning Canadian-American anthropologist who specialized in Native American cultures, especially theIroquois.He served as chairman of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylania and as a medical research scientist and director of clinical research at the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute. His many other books include King of the Delawares- Teedyuscung, Culture and Personality, Religion- An Anthropological View, Jefferson and the Indians- The Tragic Fate of the First Americans, and The Long Bitter Trail.
"Until this volume, there has been no single book written that
relates the history and life style of one of the Iroquois peoples
with the encompassing depth and breadth of knowledge, clarity, and
interest that the subject deserves. Finally, this book does it for
the Seneca. It is enthralling history, told in a knowledgeable,
highly readable way."
-- Alvin M. Joseph, Jr., author of The Indian Heritage of
America
"This book is at once troubling and richly textured; for it draws
skillfully and impartially on the resources of history, ethnology
and psychology to chronicle the agony and decline of one of the
proudest of American Indian peoples."
-- Morris Opler Book World
"Here is a carefully crafted masterpiece of anthropological and
historical investigation. It is about both the specific renaissance
of the Seneca and the possible renaissance of any people. On its
specific subject matter, it will probably remain the definitive
study for a long time."
-- Christian Science Monitor
