Just finished an interesting book by Colin G. Calloway entitled White People, Indians, and Highlanders (Oxford 2008).

Calloway is one of my favorite authors. The chapter on the Mohawk/Lenape/Oneida village of Oquaga in his book “The American Revolution in Indian Country” would be worth a read. Especially to better understand events like the Cherry Valley “Massacre”. Oquaga was just down the river a bit from Cooperstown, near present day Bainbridge.
