"The opening of this collection introduces the warrior Piskaret of the Adirondack tribe, recounting his daring exploits during the 17th century as he takes on the formidable Iroquois. Set against the backdrop of a bitter and protracted conflict between various Native tribes and colonizing forces, Piskaret embarks on a solo reconnaissance mission, using cunning tactics to evade his enemies. The narrative vividly details his journey into enemy territory, where he stealthily attacks the Iroquois during the night, showcasing both his bravery and the harsh realities of the times. Through Piskaret’s story, the text sets the stage for a broader exploration of Native American history and identity." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
