About this Item

Ann Arbor, Michigan: University Microfilms, Inc., 1980. Doctoral dissertation from 1980 on early American history, centering on the relationship between the Puritans and the Native Americans. The writer discusses the roles of New England Indians as interpreters and guides to the English explorers in the early years of 1602 and 1620, describes the plague of 1616-17 which decimated the native population during that period, and analyzes the fairly harmonious relationship between the Puritans and the natives until the Pequot War of 1637. It further discusses the organization of the major tribes in the aftermath of the war and the subsequent courts of law established to administer and supervise commerce and other matters among and between both groups before the peaceful relationship ended with King Philips War beginning in 1675.
