The Blue-Eyed Iroquois

128 pp. "The setting for this true, 17th century tale is partly in Trois Rivieres, Quebec and partly in Central New York State. It relates the exciting adventures of a young French lad who was captured by a band of marauding Mohawk Indians and carried as a prisoner of war to their homeland east of the present city of Syracuse, New York. There his life was saved by a chief and his wife who adopted him to take the place of a son lost in battle. From this story the reader will learn many interesting facts not usually known about the Indian way of life, their 'eat all' feast, their humor, their oratory, their games such as 'snow snake', how to drive away a devil and many other customs and traditions."
