Anthropologist and preservationist Robert S. Grumet has created
this up-to-date, well-written overview of historic contact with
Native Americans on the colonial frontier from a vast array of
documentary, archaeological, and ethnographic data never assembled
before. This is a definitive history of early Indian-white
relations in an area extending from Virginia to Maine and from the
Atlantic coast to the upper Ohio River. It will be read by
specialists and Indian-studies buffs alike.Historic Contact divides
native northeastern America into three subregions where the
histories of thirty-four Indian Countries are described and mapped
in detail, including all National Historic Landmarks. In the North
Atlantic Region are the Eastern and Western Abenaki,
Pocumtuck-Squakheag, Nipmuck, Pennacook-Pawtucket, Massachusett,
Wampanoag, Narragansett, Mohegan-Pequot, Montauk, Lower Connecticut
Valley, and Mahican Indian Countries; in the Middle Atlantic
Region, the Munsee, Delaware, Nanticoke, Piscataway-Potomac,
Powhatan, Nottoway-Meherrin, Upper Potomac-Shenandoah, Virginian
Piedmont, Southern Appalachian Highlands, and lower Susquehanna
Indian Countries; and in the Trans-Appalachian Region, the Mohawl,
Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, Niagara-Erie, Upper Susquehanna, and Upper
Ohio Indian Countries. Readers interested in Indian history and
colonial America will value this basic reference, which originated
as a National Historic landmarks Survey Theme Study. Federal
agencies, state and local preservation officers, and Indian
communities will use it as an excellent planning tool in making
evaluations protection decisions.
