I have read this book with great interest as to the accuracy of the NOW generation of information of the 21st century on the Northeastern Woodlands Native Americans. I find this book only to be the regurgitations of previous authors of the same Native people. There are spins of the truth that have come forth that are absolutely not of any accuracy nor of proven facts. Resources of live Natives of this region, available to the authors access, have been dishonored by the complete disregard to state the truth and facts about The Abenaki and in whole the Wabankai people and their allies who are part of the whole of the Abenaki people. I find the author to have written a book, only to have his name published for selfish gains and not to inform the reader of the facts. His writings are non other than trampling on the bodies and spilling of the blood of all involved who have actively partook in the creation of this history over the many centuries, on the backs of other peoples previously published and nonpublished works. No new information has been provided. However a lot of new disinformation and confusion has made this book not worth the match to burn it with.
