Description

One of the earliest memoirs by an American Indian, Chainbreaker presents the recollections of a Seneca chief, often referred to as Governor Blacksnake. A fighter within the American Revolution who lived more than a century, Chainbreaker told his story as an old man within the 1840s to a fellow Seneca, Benjamin Williams, who translated it and committed it to paper. Epic in scale and yet intensely personal, Chainbreaker’s story supplies an extraordinary Native view of warfare and diplomacy all through a the most important period in American history. His account is simplest fully to be had on this edition, featuring extensive remark by Thomas S. Abler.
