Excerpt from Massasoit of the Wampanoags: With a Brief Commentary on Indian Character
Many of us had seen it all before, while for others it was the first visit; but, whether for the first time, or to view again and again the old his toric spots, the real landmarks of the birthplace of free government, as exemplified by nearly three hundred years of colonial and national life, the patriotic interest and enthusiasm of all alike was thoroughly aroused.

Excerpt from Massasoit of the Wampanoags: With a Brief Commentary on Indian Character
In the summer of 1910, while serving as Great Sachem of the Improved Order of Red Men of Massachusetts, I had occasion to accompany my Deputy Great Sachem for the Plymouth District and a party of Great Chiefs and members of the order with their families and friends, on a visitation to the tribe located in that old historic town. Our official duties performed, we visited the many places of particular interest, the spots especially consecrated to Freedom by the restless energy of the men of three centuries ago.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between the early European colonists and the Native American tribes of New England, particularly focusing on the often-overlooked contributions of the Wampanoag people. Challenging the traditional narrative that portrays Native Americans as mere obstacles in the path of colonial progress, the author highlights their crucial role in the survival and success of the Plymouth colony. The author meticulously examines historical accounts, shedding light on the Wampanoag leader Massasoit and his unwavering commitment to peace and cooperation with the English settlers. This book exposes the mistreatment and exploitation of Native Americans by European colonists, questioning the justifications used to portray them as savages while celebrating the colonists as heroes. By presenting a more nuanced perspective on this critical period in American history, this book compels us to re-evaluate our understanding of the foundations of our nation and the legacy of colonialism. The author's insightful analysis serves as a powerful reminder that the story of America's beginnings is not solely one of triumph but also of tragedy and injustice.
