Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was indeed possible for Indians and Europeans to live peacefully in early America and for Indians to survive as distinct communities. Faith and Boundaries uses the story of Martha's Vineyard Wampanoags to examine how. On an island marked by centralized English authority, missionary commitment, and an Indian majority, the Wampanoags' adaptation to English culture, especially Christianity, checked violence while safeguarding their land, community, and ironically, even customs. Yet the colonists' exploitation of Indian land and labor exposed the limits of Christian fellowship and thus hardened racial division. The Wampanoags learned about race through this rising bar of civilization - every time they met demands to reform, colonists moved the bar higher until it rested on biological difference. Under the right circumstances, like those on Martha's Vineyard, religion could bridge wide difference between the peoples of early America, but its transcendent power was limited by the divisiveness of race.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports Relating to the Title of the State to Certain Lands in the Woonasquatucket Valley: And Establishing Boundary Line Between the City of Providence and the Town of North Providence In order to facilitate their examination into the public records, legal authorities, and historical facts, with which the whole question was surrounded, and make it more thorough than it could be made by the whole committee, without great labor and expense, a sub-committee, consisting of Jerome B. Kimball, Arthur M. Kimball and Sullivan Ballou, was appointed, to make the necessary investigation. The results of that investigation were afterwards presented to the committee by the Attorney General, in an argument advancing and supporting the claim of the State, to the fee of all lands in the Woonasquatucket valley covered by tidewater; and were answered by James M. Clarke, Esq., City Solicitor of the city of Providence, who appeared for the city, said city being not only a thatch-bed proprietor, but interested in other lands embraced in the terms of the resolution, which were tilled in by the city in the winter of 1857-8, Your committee do not deem it necessary to make a full report upon the title of the State to the lands embraced in the resolution appointing the committee. Should your honorable body, however, see fit to sanction the conclusions of your committee as hereinafter expressed, they will hereafter present in full their opinions and conclusions thereon, together with the historical and legal authorities upon which those opinions and conclusions are based. In the early history of our colony, when the grass that grew in the salt marshes was deemed more valuable for agricultural purposes than at the present day, it was customary to set off to the purchaser of upland, a small portion of the marsh below high water mark, where the salt grass grew, as his "thatch-right," where he was to have the exclusive right to cut the thatch or salt grass. These thatch-rights, which were originally mere easements, and not grants of the soil, have come down to their present owners by purchase and descent, in quitclaim and warranty deeds.
