Books by Arthur C. Parker

A biography of the famous and controversial Seneca chief and orator Red Jacket (Sagoyewatha, ca. 1750-1830), whose passionate and articulate defense of the old ways won the admiration of many but also earned him the enmity of Chiefs Joseph Brant and Cornplanter.

Intends to recreate the milieu in which the Seneca legends and folktales were told and discusses their basic themes and components before going on to relate more than seventy of them that the author heard as a boy. This title presents the magical Senecan world populated by unseen good and evil spirits, ghosts, and beings capable of transformation.
