Description:"Unlike some scholars [the authors] have not substituted a secular for a sacred myth. They have resisted, that is, the current tendency to invert the Puritan vision into some romantic drama of satanic Puritans versus naturally angelic (or angelically natural) Indians."Instead they present the struggle of two cultures in its broad historical, ideological, and rhetorical complexities -- partly through their lucid and very suggestive commentaries, mainly through the documents that reveal those complexities in the voices of the antagonists themselves: Indians both friendly and hostile to the colonists; Puritans representative of virtually the entire spectrum of their society; enemies and critics of the Puritans… Above all, [the book] offers a vivid and multifaceted account of what it meant to 'discover America' in 17th-century Puritan New England." -- Sacvan BercovitchThis book has a double purpose: (1) to introduce readers to the basic issues and attitudes of Puritan-Indian contact in 17th-century New England, and (2) to contribute a new point of view to the stimulating scholarly debate on the nature of Puritan and Indian relations. Both purposes are served by our making available, for the first time in the 20th century, an extensive collection of primary documents dealing with the various aspects of Puritan-Indian contact: land and trade, government relations, the Pequot War, the conversion of Indians to Christianity, and King Philips's War.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
