Excerpt from The History of the Five Indian Nations Depending on the Province of New-York It reflects little credit on New York that none of her sons have endeavored to present to the million readers of the State the life of Cadwallader Colden, a man whose scientific and philosophical mind, insuring him fame in any field of life that he might have selected, was devoted for nearly half a century to the development, interests and government of the colony of New York. But his labors are almost forgotten, his learned works accessible to few, his manuscripts, though safe in the New York Historical Society, accessible to still fewer, and except to antiquaries and collectors, his very existence almost a myth.

Excerpt from The History of the Five Indian Nations of Canada, Vol. 1 of 2: Which Are Dependent on the Province of New York, and Are a Barrier Between the English and the French in That Part of the World This brings us to The History of the Five Indian Nations. Mr. Shea says it was writ ten to lay more completely before the pub lie the importance of the Five Nations - or Iroquois - to the Colony of New York, as a barrier against the French and a means of controlling the West. There is no doubt that the book was written with a political motive, and it may have been necessary to teach the King and Council, Lords of Trade and other ruling powers, the real position, influence and power of the Iroquois Confed cracy. But Golden was too well informed a man not to perceive that the day would come when every scrap of authentic information in regard to the Indians would be valuable. He had access to sources of information by reason of his official position not usually open to writers, of which he made remarkable use.

And your Petitioners further beg leave humbly to represent, That as they conceive nothing can tend more to the with-drawing the Affections of the Five Nations of Indians from the English Interest, than the Continu ance of the said Act, which, in its Effects, restrains them from a free Commerce with the Inhabitants of new-york, and may, too probably, estrange them from the English Interest: Whereas by a Freedom of Com merce, and an encourag'd Intercourse of Trade with the French, and their Indians, the English Interest might, in time, be greatly improved and strengthened among the In dians in general, who, by such Latitude of Trade, might be link' (1 to our Friendship in the strongest Ties of their own Interest, as well as Inclinations.
