Searching For Sally
Over the long history of the genre, most biographies have been written about elite white men. There is a practical reason for that: the wealth and status of those subjects made them far more likely than other people to be literate, to have access to the materials needed to create written records, and to have descendants preserve them. Historians who wish to write about women, people of color, or people with little or no wealth face considerable c…
Ian Saxine. Properties of Empire
Ian Saxine’s elegant new book, Properties of Empire: Indians, Colonists, and Land Speculators on the New England Frontier, revolves around two documents that had a profound impact on the Wabanaki people of the Dawnland: Madockawando’s treaty of 1694 and Dummer’s treaty of 1725–1727. Through these treaties and the competing interpretations Native and English people gave to them, Saxine traces the strategies Wabanaki leaders used to preserve land a…
Gaining the Diplomatic Edge
This chapter examines the blending of European and Amerindian diplomatic practices in the seventeenth century as both sides sought to find advantage over the other. It shows that the Europeans' failure to conform to the Natives' diplomatic expectations undermined the delicate balance of cross-cultural alliance. As the European allies failed to fulfill their kin obligations, the Natives shifted their loyalties to those who would fulfill them, thus…
Pocahontas and the English Boys
Karen Ordahl Kupperman has spent her career crafting finely detailed, judiciously argued, and well-written studies of seventeenth-century America and the Atlantic world. In Pocahontas and the English Boys she draws on her wealth of experience to engage a more general audience. Her title is a savvy one for that audience: Pocahontas is, with Sacagawea, one of two American Indian women familiar to almost every reader. Book reviews in the popular pre…
“Hee Had Lost a Great Many Men in the Warr”
This chapter looks at the war between the colonists and many of the surrounding Native peoples in New England, which began in late June 1675. Initially, it involved only the English of Plymouth Colony and the Wampanoags under their sachem Philip Metacom—also known as King Philip—but the conflict quickly spread to Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and northern New England, drawing in English and Indian combatants from all of those locales,…
“One Piece of Land to Cling on To”
This concluding chapter studies the Hassanamisco Reservation. Edward Pratt, the executor of John Wompas's will, wasted no time attempting to cash in on his acquaintance with the land-rich Indian sailor. On November 3, 1679, safely landed in New England, Pratt registered his deed for eight miles square of Nipmuc land with the Middlesex County clerk. However, Pratt and the other Englishmen who held deeds to Wompas's land and benefited from his will…
“The English Did Wrong Them About Their Lands”
This chapter details John Wompas's experience of returning home and finding an English family occupying his house, which was emblematic of the situation facing New England Indians in the last quarter of the seventeenth century, a situation dramatically accelerated by the recent war. Everywhere, the English had taken possession of Indian property, shutting Indians out with their fences, their livestock, and their laws. Not just barriers and deeds,…
“My Proper Right & Inheritance”
This chapter studies John Wompas's career selling Native land. Working as a mariner gave Wompas connections to people across New England and the larger Atlantic world, and soon after leaving Harvard, he began to sell, mortgage, or grant these people Indian land. Wompas's life experience in both Native and English worlds gave him the knowledge and skills to navigate between them, borrowing the legal practices of both to lend legitimacy to his tran…
Swindler Sachem
"John Wompas was, by the account of his kin, no sachem, although he claimed that status to achieve his economic and political ends. His efforts, including visiting and securing the assistance of King Charles II, were instrumental in preserving his homeland when he went before the Crown and used the knowledge acquired in his English education to defend the land and rights of his fellow Nipmucs. Jenny Hale Pulsipher's biography offers a window onto…

The Barbarous Years
Bernard Bailyn's The Barbarous Years is the kind of book the word “magisterial” was made for. It is a vast, richly detailed overview of a relatively brief time in the history of North America, the years 1600–1675. It is also the third entry in Bailyn's The Peopling of British North America, a series charting the North American segment of the global movement of European peoples. The focus Bailyn described in his 1986 prospectus for the series was …
Dark Cloud Rising from the East”
King William's War (1689–97) has long been overshadowed by the wars bracketing it, but it was pivotal to English-Indian relations. As the English violated the treaty promises concluding King Philip's War and ignored Indian sovereignty, Indians turned to the French, establishing an alliance that would characterize the French and Indian Wars to come
Our Sages are Sageles
DMUND Browne, minister of Sudbury, Massachusetts, rarely troubled the Bay Colony's magistrates before the outbreak of the Indian War in June i675. That calamity cost the lives of nearly 5,000 Indians and 2,500 English and led to the destruction and abandonment of more than a dozen English towns, most, like Sudbury, on the frontier.1 The stresses of war on the fringes of English settlement aroused Browne to action. Between September i675 and July …
