Debbie have you seen JOURNEY INTO MOHAWK COUNTRY by Harmen Meyndertsz von den Bogaert and George OConnor


Debbie, have you seen...
A reader writes to ask me if Ive read Journey Into Hawk Country. I havent. Heres the synopsis from WorldCat:
An illustrated childrens version of the journal of a young Dutch trader, Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert, who journeyed into the land of the Iroquois Indians, a Mowhawk tribe that controlled the trade routes in the area, in 1634, seeking to bolster the Dutch trade in what is now New York State.

It came out in 2006 and theres quite a lot written about it. Heres one well-sourced essay, written by Melissa L. Melon: Our Minds in the Gutters: Sexuality and Reader Responsibility in George OConnors Graphic Novel, Journey into Mohawk Country.

If I get the book, Ill be back.
