In Lancaster County Indians, historian H. Frank Eshleman gathers the scattered traces of a vanished people into a single, commanding narrative of the Susquehannock and neighbouring tribes. The past lives vividly here. Drawing on colonial records, early travellers' accounts, council minutes and frontier reminiscences, he traces Native presence in the Susquehanna territory from around 1500 to the tragic end of organised tribal life in 1763. As a rich colonial Pennsylvania history study, the volume follows shifting alliances, missions, trade, land negotiations and the Pennsylvania Indian wars history that scarred the early American frontier. Focused portraits of the Susquehannock Indian tribes and other Indian tribes of Lancaster and the wider colonial era Susquehanna Valley make it a trusted Lancaster County history reference. Names, dates and precise place-notes offer a practical genealogy research resource and reference for local historians exploring 1500s to 1700s Pennsylvania and the background to French and Indian War history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this landmark native American history book has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it speaks to general readers drawn to vivid early American frontier history as well as to serious students and collectors of classic regional chronicles.
