The Indians Of Connecticut - Paperback

by Mathias Spiess (Author)

The book ""The Indians of Connecticut"" by Mathias Spiess is a comprehensive study of the Native American tribes that inhabited the region of Connecticut before the arrival of European settlers. The author delves into the history, culture, and way of life of these tribes, including the Pequots, Mohegans, Niantics, and Narragansetts. Spiess examines the social and political organization of these tribes, their religious beliefs and practices, and their interactions with neighboring tribes and European colonizers. He also explores the impact of disease, warfare, and displacement on these communities, as well as their efforts to adapt and survive in the face of adversity. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including archaeological evidence, oral histories, and colonial records, Spiess provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of the indigenous peoples of Connecticut. His book offers valuable insights into the complex and often tragic history of Native American communities in North America, and sheds light on the ongoing struggles faced by indigenous peoples today.Tercentenary Commission Of The State Of Connecticut, Committee On Historical Publications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
