This work was drawn from the papers sent by various colonial governors to the Society. The book details the travels of the Society’s missionaries in North America. There are sections describing the Iroquois. The two maps were engraved by Herman Moll but were not from other sources and are not found elsewhere. Both fold out to a large size.
