The present volume, which was first published in 1799, is the autobiography of frontiersman Col. James Smith, together with an analysis of Indian culture. The book gives an account of the remarkable occurrences in the life and travels of Col. James Smith (later a citizen of Bourbon County, Kentucky), during his captivity with the Indians, in the years 1755, 1756, 1757, 1758, and 1759. It was written by Col. Smith himself. The book provides, for the first time by any author, a full account of the customs, manners, traditions, theological sentiments, mode of warfare, military tactics, discipline and encampments, treatment of prisoners, and so on. It also includes a detailed description of the soil, timber and waters, where Col. Smith travelled with the Indians, and during his captivity, and further provides a brief account of some very uncommon occurrences, which transpired after his return from captivity. Finally, the book describes in depth the different campaigns carried on against the Indians to the westward of Fort Pitt, since the year 1755, up to 1799.

The participation of the Iroquois of Akwasasne, Kanesetake (Oka), Kahnawake and Oswegatchie in the Seven Years’ War is a long neglected topic. The consequences of this struggle still shape Canadian history. The book looks at the social and economic impact of the war on both men and women in Canadian Iroquois communities. The Canadian Iroquois provides an enhanced appreciation both of the role of Amerindians in the war itself and of their difficult struggle to lead their lives within the unstable geopolitical environment created by European invasion and settlement.
