The Mohicans of Stockbridge

Book

The Mohicans of Stockbridge / Patrick Frazier.

Summary:

"Few American Indian tribal names are as well recognized as that of the Mohicans. Yet little is actually known about the people themselves, despite legendary images fixed by James Fenimore Cooper. Now we have the first thoroughly researched and documented study of the Stockbridge, Massachusetts, Mohicans, and it reveals a story fully as interesting as any fiction and more meaningful."--Jacket.
