Product Description

Excerpt from Massasoit of the Wampanoags: With a Brief Commentary on Indian Character

Many of us had seen it all before, while for others it was the first visit; but, whether for the first time, or to view again and again the old his toric spots, the real landmarks of the birthplace of free government, as exemplified by nearly three hundred years of colonial and national life, the patriotic interest and enthusiasm of all alike was thoroughly aroused.
