The Allegany Senecas and Kinzua Dam by Joy A Bilharz
In the late 1950s, the US Army Corps of Engineers announced its intention to construct a dam along the Allegheny River in Warren, Pennsylvania. This title examines the short- and long-term consequences of the relocation of the Senecas.
"[Bilharz's] treatment of the historical events leading up to the construction of Kinzua Dam and the Senecas' efforts to forestall removal is excellent, and the often mixed responses of the Indian relocatees demonstrates the diversity of Seneca experiences.. The work is well researched and provides important insights into the Indians' perspective on removal... The study serves as an important reminder that Native Americans of the mid-twentieth century were not immune from government capriciousness, and that the Senecas in particular-though numerically weak-remain an amazingly adaptive and resilient people."-American Indian Quarterly American Indian Quarterly
