Highly recommended."—Choice Read more About the Author John Wood Sweet is Associate Professor of History at the University of North Carolina and coeditor (with Robert Appelbaum) of Envisioning an English Empire: Jamestown and the Making of the North Atlantic World, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

I was able to buy the book in real good condition and at a fair price and it arrived ...
The book contains info on many of my ancestor's as I descend from the Royal Blood line of the Niantic-Ninigret and the Niantic-Pequot tribe from both of my parents. I found the book to be truthful as it compared with information that I have which was passed down from my elders. The book was well writing with truthful facts. I was able to buy the book in real good condition and at a fair price and it arrived in a few days after I ordered it. Thanks.AhoChief Sun RiseWiquapaug Eastern Pequot Indian Tribe

Worth the time.
An interesting look at the creation of race in colonial New England and the negotiations between the indigenous people, white settlers, and African slaves.
