Beyond the Covenant Chain by Daniel K Richter

Beyond the Covenant Chain by Daniel K Richter

First published in 1987, Beyond the Covenant Chain was one of the first studies to acknowledge that the Iroquois never had an empire. This book remains a valuable study of diplomatic amd military relations among Native American groups in 17th- and 18th-century North America.

“A state-of-the-art look at Iroquois relations with other tribes. . . An excellent example of how an Indian-centered approach to colonial history can contribute to our understanding of the broader world in which all colonial Americans lived.”

—Richard Aquila

“Beyond the Covenant Chain . . . will prove invaluable to anyone interested in the experiences of one of the most important and complex Indian peoples of colonial North America.”

—Christine Bolt The Journal of American History

“A must for serious students of the Iroquois and Indian-white relations in the colonial period.”

—William A. Starna Ethnohistory

“These fine studies of Indian-Indian relations provide a more accurate picture of Iroquois power and presence in native North America and demonstrate that the field of Iroquois history is far from overworked.”

—Colin G. Calloway American Historical Review
