An illustrated work that covers the history of New York's indigenous people. Included within this set are entries on the cultural history of various tribes associated with the state and region, biographies of tribal leaders, and treaties made between the United States and Native American groups, as well as a map showing the location of tribes in the 1500s.
This volume is a useful resource for researchers interested in gathering information about the historic tribes of New York and the Eastern Woodlands.During the course of the Great Depression, over six thousand writers were hired by the Works Progress Administration to create a series of state travel guidebooks known as the American Guide Series. Produced between 1935 and 1943, these collections documented the history of a state, along with cultural, political, and social information on its 1930’s conditions, thereby providing today’s researchers and historians with an invaluable source of primary historical information not found elsewhere. New Yoek: A Guide to the Empire State includes maps, photographs, and essays that cover this unique period in American history, and is a wonderful addition to any collection of state history materials.
