Reviews
"Using an imposing array of primary-source French, English, and Dutch documentation throughout the book, Brandao dramatically demonstrates that there is little or no evidence to support the Beaver Wars theory. . . . This well-written treatise is a major contribution to the study of both New France and the Iroquois."-Journal of American History
"This is an important contribution to the scholarly literature and students of Iroquois-French relations who ignore it do so at their peril."-American Historical Review
"Tightly focused and concise . . . Students will enjoy this book, not simply for its economy and the clarity of its arguments, but also for its appendices, which provide 'box scores' of 100 years of Iroquoian conflict."-Canadian Historical Review
