Notes

First published by the authorin 1949, reprinted by Creek Books The Land of the Senecas, known to the red men as Nun-da-wag-ga, was a natural paradise, and so entrancing in its qualities that the soldier and settler, once having seen it, was eager to possess it. When, at the treaty of Big Tree (1797) this land was wrested from them, they were crushed. The Senecas of today, whether upon still smaller reservations or as workers in towns or cities, have becomed reconciled and now eagerly seek to do their part as constructive citizens endeavoring to build a better world for all mankind.
