Guyasuta and the Fall of Indian America

byBrady J. Crytzer

Brady J. Crytzer tells the life of Guyasuta, the influential Seneca leader who navigated the violent contest for the Ohio Country during the eighteenth century. Guyasuta dealt with British, French, American, and Indigenous powers through diplomacy, trade, alliance, and war while defending Native autonomy. His career spans the French and Indian War, Pontiac's War, the American Revolution, and the expansion that followed. Crytzer uses one man's choices to reveal a continental struggle, showing that the fall of Indian America was contested, contingent, and driven by Native political strategy as well as colonial force.
