The saga around Siena began before Washington rode through to Saratoga, be- fore white men first explored the Hudson and the Mohawk; for the soft-moccasined Iroquois quietly moved along the foot- trails, hunting and planting on the grounds which would later witness settlement and the struggle of man to unify himself through belief and communication. Back after the hunts and day-toil, the old Indians would sit around the camp fires as cold moved in. And there as the flicking flames falling across the young initiated faces were witness to the tales which made the young strong, the old narrated the feats which were the test of true Indian blood. And the white man came, but the story was the same. Now around the hearth they gathered. These men were young and had dreams, so the story told was of grow- ing America. Man explored and built up- on his hopes and the dreams became reali- ties, but not without convictions, for colon- ial experience relied on belief and the same determination needed to withstand the rev- olution had been needed earlier to let man navigate upon new waters, and would be needed again to let him build canals and form communities until he could settle and live as he believed. These actions united men and not only made them strong and free but Americans. PROLOGUE These actions made the American epic which grew as a saga of the experience of life on the new continent. Today this saga continues. Now, we, speaking as the SAGA for 63, narrate the evolving story around us, for in it we are a parteand that saga is a part of us. Together we grow and are but a part of a larger narrative.
