Description
The New England Frontier: A Vanishing Culture By 1700, several Native American tribes in the region had already been largely destroyed, and many others were soon reduced and driven from their lands by disease, war or treachery. The tribes were also drawn into the conflicts between French and British colonists, which ultimately led to the final defeat of French Canada and the unchecked expansion of British colonies. This book provides a detailed introduction to the tribes that once inhabited the New England region, a period marked by significant cultural loss and upheaval. The author explores the complex history of these Native American communities, shedding light on their experiences and struggles in the face of colonial expansion. Today, small descendant communities are working to revive the region's Indian culture, preserving the legacy of this vanishing way of life for future generations.
