Title: Well-written, engaging, well-researched.
Product review: I might never have found this book had I not seen it in a little bookstore in Brimfield, MA, a few years ago. It's become one of my treasured volumes, and I know I'll be reading it again someday. Taken from oral histories of surviving tribes that were native to New England, it tells the customs, myths and histories of several tribes -- both cooperating and competing tribes -- going back before and including the coming of the Pilgrims and Puritans and the disastrous wars between Indian and whites in the 1600's. But it's not all about the wars, but about peaceful pursuits as well. It's just so well done, written with such feeling and vivid detail; such a rare treasure!
