Interesting Historical Accounts of Interactions between Europeans and Native Americans.,
By Lynn Ellingwood "The ESOL Teacher" (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Dawnland Encounters: Indians and Europeans in Northern New England (Paperback)
This book contains many accounts of interactions between Native American tribes and Europeans. The accounts are all based on narratives written from the first arrival of Europeans until approximately The French and Indian War. It clarifies that Europeans and natives interacted in a vareity of ways and at different times were friendly or unfriendly towards each other. The French and English also brought their conflicts into the mix as the natives may have brought their conflicts too. A main concern is religion for the Europeans - The French want Catholic Indians and the English protestant ones. Alcohol was a drug easily promoted for trading purposes. When natives became hooked, the price went up. Captives with the natives were often viewed with suspicion and many English chose to live with the natives or with the French after awhile. A very interesting book.
