The Mohicans of Stockbridge (Bison Book)
Immortalized by James Fenimore Cooper in The Last of the Mohicans , the Mohican Indians originated in the area around Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Frazier, a specialist in Native American studies with the Library of Congress, presents a detailed, scholarly account of these Indians; he hopes to make his readers aware of the contributions they made to America's history. He covers the Mohicans' conversion to Christianity and examines the various ways they interacted with both Dutch and English settlers as traders, soldiers, and victims of expansion and alcohol. Frazier has done extensive research and uses solid documentation. The work will be illustrated and have appeal for Indian scholars.- Dorothy Lilly, Grosse Pointe North H.S.
