Conan Doyle wrote to his mother in January 1892 when he was at work on The Refugees , 'this should be a new thing to Americans, and I shall be surprised if it does not fetch them. If I, a Britisher, could draw their early types so as to win their approval, I should be indeed proud, for by such international associations, nations are drawn together, and on the drawing together of these two nations depends the future of the world'. The Refugees was planned in 1891 and written between December 1891 and February 1892. Conan Doyle refuted criticism that he had portrayed the Iroquois Indians in too harsh a light. (3)
