About This Book

A historical and ethnographic account surveys the indigenous peoples of the region now comprising Maine and New Hampshire, outlining their tribes, settlements, migrations toward Canada, and interactions with European settlers. It reproduces two early-eighteenth-century treaties and includes a vocabulary, while offering descriptions of tribal names, place-name etymologies, missionary influence, episodes of conflict and displacement, and surviving communities' customs and language. A transcriber’s note acknowledges original spelling variants.
