Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This volume offers an in-depth account of the arrival, settlement, and fraught relationship between the white settlers and the indigenous Wampanoag people of Nantucket. Beginning with the precolonial era and extending into the 19th century, this book draws upon historical documents, Wampanoag oral tradition, and archaeological evidence. The study emphasizes the peaceful coexistence between the Wampanoags and the first English settlers, illustrating the cooperation between these two peoples that for a time ensured Nantucket's prosperity through joint agricultural and maritime ventures. The author underscores the corrosive impact of European vices which brought about the erosion of this harmony and the Wampanoag's tragic decline. The author concludes by poignantly discussing the sad demise of Nantucket's last surviving Wampanoag, Dorcas, who died in 1855. This meticulously researched book is a thoughtful contribution to the annals of both Nantucket and American colonial history.
