Title: Obsolete theory
Review: This book was seminal in its time as the first to propose that trade relations were the ultimate cause of the wars fought among the Eastern Woodland tribes of North America in the 17th century. This theory, based primarily on marxist concepts of trade being a fundamentally evil activity at the source of many conflicts, has been largely discredited today.For a better overview of this subject, check out the Iroquois Wars I & II, available from Amazon.com, which offer excerpts from the primary sources themselves and tell a much different story from Mr. Hunt's faulty interpretation.
