Acerca de esta escucha

In this narrative history of the Mohawk River Valley and surrounding region from 1713 to 1794, Professor Richard Berleth charts the passage of the valley from a fast-growing agrarian region streaming with colonial traffic to a war-ravaged wasteland. The valley's diverse cultural mix of Iroquois Indians, Palatine Germans, Scots-Irish, Dutch, English, and Highland Scots played as much of a role as its unique geography in the cataclysmic events of the 1700s - the French and Indian Wars and the battles of the American Revolution.

Patriots eventually wrenched the valley from British interests and the Iroquois nations, but at fearsome cost. When the fighting was over, the valley lay in ruins and as much as two-thirds of its population lay dead or had been displaced. But by not holding this vital inland waterway - the gateway to the West, "the river between the mountains" - America might have lost the Revolution, as well as much or all of the then-poorly-defined province of New York.

View of an obscure and often overlooked area of American History. As a people we often pass towns throughout America wholly devoid of knowledge collectively as to the experiences and origins of our fellow forefathers. This book does an excellent job of remedying this problem.

An excellent and easy to follow chronicle of the epic four-sided conflict between and among Europeans and Indigenous peoples.

Writing and narrative flow well.

Very thorough and researched. Objective as well. A very good read for those who are interested in history and specifically the history during the French and Indian war and revolution.

A very good Read…

The 2 reasons I stay in NY State still is its rich revolutionary history like this and the beautiful geography such as the Mohawk River, the Adirondack Mountains, Saratoga, the Genesee River Valley and the southerntier.
THIS BOOK is incredible. One cannot fathom the incredible detail on the role NYS played in early American life. Bloody Mohawk explains in great detail the life settlers lived in the Valley and its relationship with the Mohawk Natives of the Iroquois confederacy. The River itself was one of the hardest fought for regions in all of NYS in my opinion for it played as a key route for the main interest, trade and settlement and war.
This book leaves no detail of the Mohawk Valley's key figures and events unturned. Here you will learn about people like Sir William Johnson, Chief Joseph Brant, General Montcalm, General Herkimer, Guy Johnson, and many many more! If you live in NYS or are a historian of the early Americas, READ THIS BOOK!!

Incredible..

It is very helpful in understanding how things went down historically, and why some Indians were willing to fight for the white men, as they called them. The vicious fights and things they did to each other, like make boots out of their fallen enemies. Not even children were safe.

It is very educational, honest and brutal.

Even though it was included with membership, I definitely would have paid for this title.

Would pay for it

Slow start, but stick with it, well worth the time. A great history of the New York region packed with interesting characters and their stories, both heroes and villains.

Slow start, but WOW it picks up. Great history of Indian and colonists, especially during American War of Independence.

I was expecting the book to be more about the Mohawks. Most of the book was about the revolutionary war and the generals fighting it. It does mention the Native Americans contribution to the war effort but it was not the main focus.

Not what I expected

VERY riveting! As a historian myself (academically – and not this field however) by saying to hear allthe incidental" footnotes". I do wish there was attached PDF them as well as a couple of maps. To that point, I was fascinated to learn the extent to which Benedict Arnold delayed the British fleet on Lake Champlain until 1777great history of Fort Stanwyck

Very well researched and compelling
