Iroquois: Or The Bright Side Of Indian Character (1855)

The Iroquois: Or The Bright Side Of Indian Character is a book written by Minnie Myrtle and originally published in 1855. The book is a historical and cultural account of the Iroquois people, one of the indigenous nations of North America. Myrtle provides a detailed description of the Iroquois way of life, including their social structure, religious beliefs, and cultural practices. She also highlights the positive aspects of Iroquois culture, such as their strong sense of community, respect for nature, and emphasis on peace and diplomacy. Myrtle's writing is characterized by a romanticized view of the Iroquois, which was common among many non-indigenous writers of the time. Despite this, the book remains an important historical document that sheds light on the rich and complex culture of the Iroquois people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
