History Of The Indians Of Connecticut: From The Earliest Known Period To 1850 is a comprehensive account of the indigenous people of Connecticut, written by John W. De Forest. The book provides a detailed overview of the history, culture, and lifestyle of the various tribes that inhabited the region, including the Pequots, Mohegans, Niantics, and others. The author begins with a brief introduction to the earliest known period of Connecticut's native inhabitants, discussing their migration patterns and the different groups that emerged over time. He then delves into the social structure, religion, and daily life of these tribes, drawing on a variety of primary sources such as diaries, letters, and government records. De Forest also devotes significant attention to the interactions between the indigenous peoples and the European settlers who arrived in the 17th century, including the Pequot War, which resulted in the decimation of the Pequot tribe. He discusses the impact of colonization on the native population, including the loss of land, resources, and autonomy. Throughout the book, De Forest provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on the history of the indigenous peoples of Connecticut. He acknowledges the diversity and complexity of their cultures, while also recognizing the injustices they faced at the hands of European colonizers. Overall, History Of The Indians Of Connecticut: From The Earliest Known Period To 1850 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Native American peoples in the Northeastern 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.
