## About this book

Massawomeck, Volume 1 by James F. Pendergast, provides a detailed historical examination of a mysterious hinterland Indian group from the 17th century. This scholarly work focuses on the brief and often violent period between 1607 and 1634, when the Massawomeck appeared in contemporary accounts alongside the founding of the Jamestown and Maryland colonies. The text investigates the various antiquarian and scholarly classifications that once linked these people to the Iroquois tribes.

This volume of Massawomeck serves as a vital resource for researchers of United States colonial period history. By analyzing eyewitness accounts and regional records, the author expands the known history of trade between mid-Atlantic Indians in the Chesapeake Bay latitudes and the Ontario Iroquois. It offers significant insights into the social and economic complexities of the Middle Atlantic region during the early 1600s, making it a key text for studying colonial era interactions.
