Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Abridgment of the Indian Affairs: Contained in Four Folio Volumes, Transacted in the Colony of New York, From the Year 1678 to the Year 1751
In the preparation of the introduction I have been greatly aided at many points by the suggestions and criticism of Professor F. J. Turner: also by the help of Professor Charles W. Spencer, of Princeton University, on whose knowledge of conditions in colonial New York I have freely drawn; and of Professor C han ning, who first aroused my interest in this subject. Their kind ness has placed me under a very heavy obligation.
