Summary
In contrast to most accounts of Puritan-Indian relations, this book argues that the first two generations of Puritan settlers were neither generally hostile toward their Indian neighbors nor indifferent to their territorial rights. Rather, American Puritans, especially their political and religious leaders, sought peaceful and equitable relations as the first step in molding the Indians into neo-Englishmen.
