Zusammenfassung:"For hundreds of years, the New England Indian group known as the Nipmucks has been enmeshed in myth and mystery. They were composed of four tribes or bands: Nipmuck, Nashaway, Quabaug, and Wabaquasett. After King Philip's War (1675-1676), the Nipmucks were forced to flee their homes, and their lands were redistributed among the settlers." "Here is the first comprehensive history of the Nipmucks' way of life and its transformation with the advent of white settlement." "Spanning the years between their first encounters with whites and the final disposal of their lands, this history focuses on Indian-white relations, the status of the Nipmucks relative to other New England tribes, and their social and political alliances." "The book also analyzes settlement patterns, population densities, tribal limits, and land transactions."--BOOK JACKET.
