Jim,

Hi, neighbor! Was just in Blackstone a few hours ago. I live in Wilsons.

I have put your book on my to-buy list. I have already read James Merrill's 
very interesting "Into the American Woods" on the relations in the 
Pennsylvania and New York colonies with the Six Nations, the Lenne Lenape, 
and other tribes. He did not mention that slavery was an issue there, but 
then PA and NY were more small farms than extensive plantions. Another good 
read on the exploitation of the Indians is "How The Indians Lost Their Land" 
by Stuart Banner, who details how even our "Founding Fathers" invested in 
land speculation to defraud the Indians of their land.
