Peter Wraxall (1720-1759) served as the Secretary of the Commissioners of Indian Affairs at Albany, and William Johnson from 1755. By transcribing these records of Indian relations with New York (1678-1751) he left a legacy of great interest for undersanding this crucial period in colonial history. Much on the fur trade with Albany, shifting tribal alliances with the British and French, etc., etc. A very nice copy.
