A key identifies villages, trails and boundaries. <br><br> This unusual and rather scarce map appeared in Morgan's League of the Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee, or Iroquois. This work details the leadership hierarchy, governmental structure, culture, lifestyles, customs etc. of the Iroquois. A cutting edge work for the period.
