Summary "Sir William Johnson and the Six Nations" by William Elliot Griffis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents the life and influence of Sir William Johnson, an important figure in colonial America, particularly in relation to the Iroquois Confederacy, known as the Six Nations. It explores Johnson's role in diplomacy, trade, and his efforts to foster relationships between European settlers and Native American tribes. At the start of the book, the author sets the scene in the Mohawk Valley, where Johnson lived and conducted his affairs during the mid-18th century. The opening discusses the early settlers of the Valley, focusing on their escape from feudalism in Europe and their quest for independence, as well as detailing the landscape and the indigenous populations they encountered. Griffis introduces Johnson as a central figure who navigated complex relationships with Native Americans, particularly the Mohawks, establishing trade routes and treaties that would shape the region's history. The text reveals the rich cultural interactions and tensions brought about by European colonization, laying a foundation for further exploration of Johnson's life and contributions to American history.
