This groundbreaking work documents Native American languages in colonial New England, primarily Narragansett. Written by a banished Puritan who founded Rhode Island, the book serves multiple purposes: championing Indigenous land rights, countering rival colonial claims, and celebrating aspects of Native culture Williams found superior to European ways. It introduced enduring words like "moose" and "moccasin" into English. (This is an automatically generated summary.) UR - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/63701 ER -
