This study of gifts to the Indians is an attempt to illuminate a hitherto almost obscure factor in the Colonial westward movement. These “presents,” comprising such eighteenth-century items as fabrics, hardware, munitions, food, toys, jewelry, clothing, wampum, and liquors, were a potent factor in the complex diplomatic history of Indian politics along the old Northwest frontier. Thousands of pounds sterling were expended both by the French and by the English in observing this old Indian custom that was so necessary to Indian diplomacy. Indeed, the civilizing influence of this concomitant of Western culture reached ahead of the fur trade far into the wilderness to the Mississippi Valley. These so-called presents also served as a measure of compensation for the vast areas of virgin forest that were bought by the English. The French competed with the British in securing the friendship of the powerful Indian confederacies, which, even as late as 1750, held the balance of power in North America. During the years 1748-1763, it became the policy of the colonies bordering the Ohio and Northwest frontiers to “brighten the chain of friendship” by giving presents to such influential “nations” as the members of the Iroquoian confederacy. Moreover, in some cases the Indians became so accustomed to these frequent outlays of free merchandise that they came to be almost completely dependent upon European goods.—Wilbur R. Jacobs

Roger Williams' guide to Native American language was the first ever published; as well as linguistic instruction, we receive stunning insight into the culture and customs of the New England tribes. Firstly, this is a practical, instructional guidebook written with the colonial society in mind. Particularly where religious missions are concerned, the author feels that colonialists should have a command of Native American languages. Williams passionately believed in peaceful coexistence, and realized that understanding the native speech was crucial for this. Secondly, the book aims to promote understanding of Native American culture. What customs the tribes practice, the foods they eat, their marital and social mores, their methods of communicating knowledge, how they regard beasts of nature, and how trade and commerce is practiced are but some topics discussed. The picture is detailed, revealing the sophistication of the Native Americans. Between his descriptions of these topics, Williams appends long lists of words complete with their phonetic pronunciations. There are over 250 such tables in this book; taken as a whole, these constitute an impressive compendium of the native speech heard by European settlers in 17th century New England. Roger Williams was a unique figure in the colonial era of North America. Working as a minister, he was among few who gained the trust of multiple Native American tribes, to the point where they hosted him for months. This book was his first, and its publication in London brought much attention to the author's unique life. Later in life, Williams gained renown as a defender of the Native Americans, advocate of religious freedom, and for his staunch anti-slavery views.

A new look at Thomas Morton, his controversial colonial philosophy, and his lengthy feud with the Puritans Adding new depth to our understanding of early New England society, this riveting account of Thomas Morton explores the tensions that arose from competing colonial visions. A lawyer and fur trader, Thomas Morton dreamed of a society where Algonquian peoples and English colonists could coexist. Infamous for dancing around a maypole in defiance of his Pilgrim neighbors, Morton was reviled by the Puritans for selling guns to the Natives. Colonial authorities exiled him three separate times from New England, but Morton kept returning to fight for his beliefs. This compelling counter-narrative to the familiar story of the Puritans combines a rich understanding of the period with a close reading of early texts to bring the contentious Morton to life. This volume sheds new light on the tumultuous formative decades of the American experience.
