A History of the Treaty of Big Tree

A History of the Treaty of Big Tree recounts the history surrounding the 1797 treaty between the Seneca nation and Robert Morris, which resulted in the transfer of a vast territory in Western New York to the United States. Compiled by the Livingston County Historical Society, this volume includes an account of the centennial celebration held in Geneseo, New York, in 1897.

The book provides historical context, details the treaty’s negotiation and consequences, and captures the atmosphere of the anniversary event. It stands as a valuable resource for understanding the complex relationship between the Seneca people and the United States government during a pivotal period of territorial expansion. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Native American history, New York State history, and the history of treaties in the United States.
