King William's War: P. Schuyler, the Iroquois & America's Forgotten Conflict, w/ Samuel Marquis

I'm joined by bestselling and award-winning historian Samuel Marquis. He's written widely on colonial America, the Golden Age of Piracy, and World War II — and he's also the ninth-great-grandson of the legendary Captain William Kidd. His newest book, Empire and Frontier, takes us into a largely forgotten but pivotal chapter of early American history: King William's War and the fragile alliance between Colonel Peter Schuyler and the Haudenosaunee, the Five Nations of the Iroquois. It's a story of diplomacy, survival, and cross-cultural partnership on a violent frontier — one that helped shape the balance of power in North America for generations.   SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast ADVERTISE: https://www.historyshortspodcast.com/advertise  LEARN MORE: https://www.historyshortspodcast.com/   SPONSORED BY: www.thecollector.com
