Helpful Score: 4

This is an excellent adventure story and, like all the Gear books, it is well rooted in the ways of the people involved. This is pure fiction but at the same time it is a very plausible account of how the Iriquois confederation was born. Very few people are aware that the United States government was patterned after the Iriquois Confederation and it caused a change in the way people were governed throughout the world. As a matter of fact, it was the advice of a leader of the Iriquois, Canassatego, that caused the states to band together instead of facing England one at a time.
