Reviews for The Montaukett Indians of Eastern Long Island (The Iroquois and Their Neighbors)
Perhaps no one is better qualified to write a history of the Montaukett Indians than John A. Strong. For nearly twenty years, his writings on the Algonquin people of Long Island have filled an important void in our understanding of the Northeastern Woodlands." - American Indian Culture and Research Journal "A major strength of this volume is John Strong's extensive use of original documents to underpin his contemporary view of a highly complex story. For a more accurate history of the island, this darker side needs to be known." - Gaynell Stone, Suffolk County Archeological Association
