The Indian peoples of Eastern America : a documentary history of the sexes / edited by James Axtell.

Axtell, James. (Added Author).

Summary:

This fascinating collection of primary source materials provides a unique introduction to the woodland Indians who inhabited Northeastern America in the region bordered by the Carolinas, the Great Lakes, and the maritime provinces of Canada. Substantial portions of the sixty-seven original documents included - written primarily by French and English settlers, explorers, missionaries, and Indian women - reveal the feelings and prejudices of their authors, thus allowing the reader an intriguing look into the lives of both the native Americans and the foreigners who supplanted them. Frequent contacts between these farming tribes and the early immigrants played a large part in shaping the fabric of life in colonial America.
