Description
"This fascinating collection of information about the Wampanoag Indian Federation is a volume that has been long needed.
These people, who were the Indian neighbors of the Pilgrims owned and occupied the territory whose boundary included all the lands of the Islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, and the mainland from Narragansett Bay and the Providence River, from Cape Cod and the Atlantic Ocean northerly to the Southern boundary of Massachusetts Bay. This northern boundary of the Wampanoag country included the towns of Attleboro, Rehoboth, and Swansea; and all of the counties of Nantucket, Dukes, Barnstable, Plymouth, Bristol, and a considerable part of Norfolk County in Massachusetts; together with all of Bristol and Newport Counties, and East Providence, in Rhode Island.
The many early documents and sources quoted by the Author in his compilation of the history of the Wampanoag Indians will be interesting reading for every American and makes the book a good source of knowledge for future seekers of knowledge about events which seem to have become a neglected phase of our early history, but which played such a significant part in the germination and development of our present North American Culture." -- Book jacket.
