Synopsis
The year 1715 was epochal. It witnessed the end of one great chapter in the history of civilization and the beginning of a new one yet greater. The chapter that ended then was the one which embraced the stubborn and bloody dynastic wars that since 1672 had resulted from the collision between the stern, sullen genius of William of Orange and the reckless, unscrupulous ambition of Louis XIV. For forty-two years war had raged everywhere, broken only in its devastation by such brief and hollow truces as Nimwegen and Ryswick. True, William died in 1702, killed by the stumbling of his clumsy charger just at the threshold of a new campaign.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and career of a remarkable figure who shaped the destiny of the American frontier. Set against the backdrop of the 18th century, a period marked by the rise of the British Empire and the clash of European powers for dominance in the New World, the book chronicles the journey of a man who navigated the complexities of colonial politics and forged alliances with Indigenous tribes. The author vividly portrays the subject's transformation from a young Irish immigrant to a powerful figure who wielded significant influence in the Iroquois Confederacy. We see how he navigated the turbulent world of land acquisition and trade, while also playing a critical role in shaping the relationship between the colonial government and the Iroquois nations. The book explores the subject's strategic mind, his understanding of both the political landscape and the intricate social structures of the Indigenous tribes, and his ability to forge lasting alliances that would shape the course of future conflicts. The author delves into the subject's complex personality, his ambition and his determination to succeed in a world where his origins could have easily limited his opportunities. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal period in American history, highlighting the life of a man whose actions reverberated far beyond his own time and left an enduring legacy on the American frontier.
