New England encounters

"This anthology makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on Native American history by highlighting episodes of Indian-European contact in New England during the region's first 250 years. The essays, which were originally published in The New England Quarterly: A Historical Review of New England Life and Letters, consider a wide range of areas in Native American - white relations: from Abenaki territory in northern Maine to Pequot lands in southern Connecticut; from profitable commerce to devastating warfare; from religious persuasion to labor exploitation; from cultural mixing to nonviolent resistance; from literary representation to political argumentation."--BOOK JACKET.
