The Best Land: Adirondack Author Talk with Susan A. Brewer

Join us and local author Susan A. Brewer, as she presents her book, The Best Land: Four Hundred Years of Love & Betrayal on Oneida Territory.

"In Susan A. Brewer's fascinating The Best Land, she recounts the story of the parcel of central New York land on which she grew up. Brewer and her family had worked and lived on this land for generations when the Oneida Indians claimed that it rightfully belonged to them. Why, she wondered, did she not know what had happened to this place her grandfather called the best land. Here, she tells its story, tracing over the past four hundred years the two families—her own European settler family and the Oneida/Mohawk family of Polly Denny—who called the best land home." -Cornell University Press
