When forced removal of the Indians failed, Albany officials pushed for jurisdiction over the Indians, including attempts to tax them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHauptman goes beyond simply recounting the tragedy that befell the Indians in New York.  He includes memoirs and letters of gazetteers, travelers’ accounts, tribal records, personal correspondence, and Indian petitions to Albany and Washington – eloquent documents that reveal a rich culture in crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longleaf Services on behalf of Syracuse University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52653506494831,"sku":"9780815607120","price":176.94,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0815607121.jpg?v=1770732203","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/conspiracy-of-interests","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
