Written in 1965 as a guide for the staff of Plimoth Plantation, this ethnohistorical study gathers what the colonial sources reveal about the Wampanoag people of southeastern New England. Short chapters cover population and epidemic, history and culture change, hunting, fishing and farming, food and drink, clothing and crafts, education, family life and belief, all closely footnoted to the seventeenth-century record.
A compact, well-sourced portrait of Plymouth’s Native neighbours for anyone curious about the people behind the Thanksgiving story. Download the free EPUB.
