Excerpt from Our Neighbors the Tuscaroras It has often happened - more often than not, perhaps, in recent years - that the white speaker at these annual gatherings of the Tuscaroras, has been some prominent man of Western New York who spoke to them of farming or patriotism or politics. In trying to speak to these people of their own history I explained that my business was not farming, or politics; that my business - at least a part of it - was to study the records of the past and put them in order for others to study. Then I went on and sketched as well as conditions allowed, the story of the Tuscaroras. It was not, I am sure, a very adequate review that I made; but the occasion awakened an interest in the subject which has led me into some further study; so that what here follows is not so much the address given in the maple grove on a hot summer afternoon, as it is a fragmentary record of Tuscarora history as I have found it in scattered but authentic documents.
