A timely publication for Haudenosaunee Studies, John Winters's book is a thorough study of the history and memory of 'Iroquois exceptionalism' throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century. Winters shows how the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) contributed to history, social sciences, museum studies, politics, art, and the American story. He brings honor and respect to the personalities he spends time with in this book. As a result, I feel like I know my intellectual
ancestors much better than I did before.
John C. Winters is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Southern Mississippi and ITPS Research Associate in New York History at the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies at Iona College. A public historian, he has also worked in historic homes, museums, and other institutions.
