Note 1437 — Chapter V · (continued 2)

This was the earliest of Morgan’s important writings on the Iroquois, but the full outcome of all his views on the Indian character and life can only be studied by following him through his later Ancient Society, his Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity, and his Houses and House-life of the American Aborigines. Cf. Pilling’s Proof-sheets for a conspectus of his works. Morgan’s early studies on the Iroquois sensibly affected his judgment in his later treatment of all other North American tribes.
