Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nipmuck Indians The territory originally comprising the old town of Worcester included, besides that of the present City of Worcester, the whole town of Holden which was set off in 1740, and the northeast quarter of Auburn which was set off in 1778, the latter section including the old Common where the Auburn Church and Town Hall now stand. To this original territory the first inhabitants, the Indians, gave the name of Quinsigamond, from the name of the lake bounding it on the east, with its numerous aliases, Quansigamaug, Quonsicamug, Quansigamog, etc., etc., meaning in the Indian dialect, "fishing place for pickerel." This is one of the earliest places in the interior of New England to which the attention of the first settlers from the seaboard or coast was directed, towards the west. Plymouth, the oldest New England town, was settled on the arrival of the Pilgrims in the Mayflower, in the bleak month of December, 1620. Within ten years from that date a large number of new towns, including Weymouth, Braintree, Salem, Charlestown, Lynn, Boston, Roxbury, Watertown, Dorchester, Cambridge, Medford, along the eastern coast, had been settled or incorporated, and then movements began toward the interior. Settlements began at Concord in 1635, Sudbury in 1638, Lancaster in 1643, and Marlboro in 1654. Lancaster, the oldest town in Worcester County, was incorporated in 1654, Mendon in 1667, and Brookfield in 1673, Worcester ranking the fourth in age or time of first settlement of the towns in this county.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian This volume might be called one of recollections, for in it have been set down many memories of Indian life. The scenes described I have witnessed with my own eyes; the stories related are those which have been told me by the Indians themselves. These stories are introduced freely because the con crete example conveys a clearer idea of an event than an abstract statement, and because the story of the Indian should not be told wholly from the point of view of a race alien in thought, feeling, and culture. No narrative about any people can do them justice if written by one who is not in some degree in sympathy with them, and acquainted with their ways of thought and with the motives which govern them. Before an intelligent account of it can be given, the stranger race must be comprehended. Long association with Indi ans enables a white man ultimately to share their thought and feelings; and he who has reached this point understands the Indian. He understands that the red man is a savage and has savage qualities, yet he sees also that the most impressive characteristic of the Indian is his humanity. For in his Simplicity, his vanity, his sensitiveness to ridicule, his desire for re venge, and his fear of the supernatural, he is a child and acts like one.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Middle Five: Indian Boys at School As the object of this book is to reveal the true nature and character of the Indian boy, I have chosen to write the story of my school-fellows rather than that of my other boy friends who knew only the aboriginal life. I have made this choice not because the influences of the school alter the qualities of the boys, but that they might appear under conditions and in an attire familiar to the reader. The paint, feathers, robes, and other articles that make up the dress of the Indian, are marks of savagery to the European, and he who wears them, however appropriate or significant they might be to himself, finds it difficult to lay claim to a share in common human nature. So while the school uniform did not change those who wore it, in this instance, it may help these little Indians to be judge, as are other boys, by what they say and do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jack Among the Indians: Or a Boy's Summer on the Buffalo Plains There were few settlements, and as the buffalo roamed far and wide over the treeless land, the Indians followed them; for then both were free. Often a tribe was obliged to defend itself against the attacks of enemies; and its young men often made war journeys into hostile country. Though the daily life of the village was quiet and simple, yet sometimes it was interrupted by most exciting incidents and adventures both of hunting and fighting. You listened attentively to the story of Jack, the Young Ranchman, and I hope that you will like to learn what Jack did the next season, when he spent the summer with the buffalo eaters of the Northern Plains, hunted their game, fought their enemies and lived their life.

Download or read book Taopi and His Friends Or the Indians Wrongs and Rights Classic Reprint written by William Welsh and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taopi and His Friends, or the Indians' Wrongs and Rights In publishing the following instructive, encouraging and deeply interesting Journal, written by the Rev. S. D. Hinman at the Santee Indian Mission, and Bishop Whipple's pathetic address made at the funeral of Taopi, it is evidently proper that an historical sketch of the Mission should accompany these papers. The preparation of such a sketch naturally devolves upon one who has the official supervision of the Mission under the sanction of the Board of Missions and of Bishop Clarkson, with the approval also of Bishop Whipple and the Rev. S. D. Hinman. Ignorance concerning Missions to Indians and the consequent lack of faith in them render an account of the origin, progress and prospects of the Church's Mission to the Sioux nation very important, especially at this extraordinary juncture in Indian affairs. - It is always instructive to trace as far as is possible the preparation of God's agents who are to lay the foundation for a great Missionary work, therefore let us briefly consider the characters engaged in this Mission. First, a man of purity of character, ready sympathy and fervid eloquence, was made wise in the things of this world by a mercantile training, and then called of God to enter the sacred ministry. The Spirit of Christ first incited him to preach the Gospel to the poor slave, and then in another sphere to visit the homes and workshops of mechanics, to make himself thoroughly acquainted with their avocations, and then to draw them to a free Church, where they were cordially welcomed and won to Christ.

Download or read book Removable Type written by Phillip H. Round and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-10-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1663, the Puritan missionary John Eliot, with the help of a Nipmuck convert whom the English called James Printer, produced the first Bible printed in North America. It was printed not in English but in Algonquian, making it one of the first books printed in a Native language. In this ambitious and multidisciplinary work, Phillip Round examines the relationship between Native Americans and printed books over a two-hundred-year period, uncovering the individual, communal, regional, and political contexts for Native peoples' use of the printed word. From the northeastern woodlands to the Great Plains, Round argues, alphabetic literacy and printed books mattered greatly in the emergent, transitional cultural formations of indigenous nations threatened by European imperialism. Removable Type showcases the varied ways that Native peoples produced and utilized printed texts over time, approaching them as both opportunity and threat. Surveying this rich history, Round addresses such issues as the role of white missionaries and Christian texts in the dissemination of print culture in Indian Country, the establishment of "national" publishing houses by tribes, the production and consumption of bilingual texts, the importance of copyright in establishing Native intellectual sovereignty (and the sometimes corrosive effects of reprinting thereon), and the significance of illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fanny Grant Among the Indians: A Story for Young People The fifth volume of the Woodville stories contains the experience of Fanny Grant, who from a very naughty girl became a very good one, by the influence of a pure and beautiful example, exhibited to the erring child in the hour of her greatest wandering from the path of rectitude. The story is not an illustration of the pleasures of hope; but an attempt to show the young reader that what we most desire, in moral and spiritual, as well as worldly things, we labor the hardest to obtain a truism adopted by the heroine in the form of the principal title of the volume, Hope and Have.

Download or read book The Nipmuc Indian Who Saved My Summer written by Walter Donway and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NIPMUC INDIAN MAN SAVED MY SUMMER WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. HIS NAME WAS "TALL LUKE"When we were kids at Webster Lake in Massachusetts, near the border with Connecticut, we heard about Nipmuc Indians. For a long time, some kids thought people were saying "chipmunk." It makes a sort of sense. You associate Indians with knowing everything about animals and plants and living with nature in ways most people today don't know how to do.The Nipmucs, sometimes spelled "Nipmucks," were the native American people who first lived around Worcester, Massachusetts, near where I grew up in Webster. In fact, they lived throughout parts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York, And they were there long before the English colonists or any other white people arrived. Before anyone kept records of the region.My father, mother, two older sisters, younger brother, and I lived in a house, which we called a "cottage," right on the edge of South Pond, one of the three ponds that made up Webster Lake. We had a wharf sticking out into the lake. We tied up a row boat, there, and fished from the end almost every evening, sometimes by casting a fishing lure, or plug, toward the middle of the lake. On a hot day, when visitors arrived and got into their bathing suits, they would run full speed down the gravel path next to the cottage, onto the wharf, right out to the end, and do a long jump or dive into the lake. You could get a splinter in your bare foot from that old wharf, though.I said the summer when I was 12 years old was my best. I think it ended up that way not because of a "chipmunk," but because of a Nipmuc Indian, Tall Luke. That doesn't sound like a Native American name, but there is an explanation.
