The Reservation

I had the pleasure of working at a bookstore in Niagara Falls in 1976 when Ted Williams came to a book signing for this title. I just read the book recently (2000), because I was writing about the Tuscaroras and needed to learn more about their lives. Ted has preserved characters, legends, and numerous significant details of the lives of the Tuscarora. He regularly adds the Tuscaroran words where he can, which adds to the book's value. It's very readable, often funny. I'm not a Tuscarora myself, but I would recommend this title to anyone interested in learning more about them.
