Description

Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1993. 5th Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5x0x8. Signed by author. Fifth printing. Signed by author Laurence M. Hauptman on title page with inscription, "To David--with best wishes. Regards, 2/13/18." A fine copy. 1993 Trade Paperback. xix, 268 pp. Before their massacre by Massachusetts Puritans in 1637, the Pequots were preeminent in southern New England. Their location on the eastern Connecticut shore made them important producers of the wampum required to trade for furs from the Iroquois. They were also the only Connecticut Indians to oppose the land-hungry English. For those reasons, they became the first victims of white genocide in colonial America. Despite the Pequot War of 1637, and the greed and neglect of their white neighbors and "overseers," the Pequots endured in their ancestral homeland. In 1983 they achieved federal recognition. In 1987 they commemorated the 350th anniversary of the Pequot War by organizing the Mashantucket Pequot Historical Conference, at which distinguished scholars presented the articles assembled here.

First line

Despite the presence of approximately 20,000 American Indians in six New England states today, popular misconceptions and a lack of accurate information persist about the region's indigenous peoples.
