sparse text

This text is rather sparse, so would probably not be of much interest to the general reader. But then, the general reader would probably not even be looking at this title. If, like me, you find yourself fascinated with first person accounts of early European contacts with Native Americans, this is valuable simply because there are so few surviving accounts from the New Netherlands era. This is the diary of a mid-winter journey through the upper Mohawk Valley. Well footnoted and with a large glossary of Mohawk words.
