Publisher's Synopsis
Uncas and Miantonomoh: A Historical Discourse is a book written by William L. Stone and originally published in 1842. The book is a historical account of the lives of two Native American chiefs, Uncas and Miantonomoh, who were prominent figures in the 17th century in what is now the northeastern United States. The book begins by providing background information on the two tribes that Uncas and Miantonomoh belonged to, the Mohegans and the Narragansetts, respectively. It then goes on to describe the lives of the two chiefs, including their childhoods, their rise to power, and their interactions with European settlers. The book also explores the complex relationships between the Native American tribes and the European colonizers, including the conflicts that arose between them. Stone draws heavily on primary sources, including letters and journals written by the colonizers, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of these interactions. Overall, Uncas and Miantonomoh: A Historical Discourse is an important work of early American history that sheds light on the complex relationships between Native American tribes and European colonizers. It provides a valuable perspective on the lives of two important Native American leaders and their interactions with the European settlers who would go on to shape the history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
