William A. Starna (Get this book) Starna has written a meticulous ethnohistory of the Mahicans, from their Hudson Valley roots to their present federally recognized status as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin. The author is exacting in his use of primary documents and ethnological literature, depicting aboriginal Mahican land tenure and economy, contacts with Natives and Europeans, effects of epidemics, population decline, fur trade, warfare, and adjustments to Dutch and then English hegemony. Summing Up: Highly recommended.--Choice
