Summary:

The native Penacook, Winnipesaukee, Pigwacket, Sokoki, Cowasuck and Ossipee tribes once thrived along the Granite State's great rivers. Collectively known as the Abenaki, diese "men of the east" have largely disappeared from New Hampshire. Shadows remain, from the boning of sap for maple syrup to the game of lacrosse and traditional corn-and-bean succotash. Historian Bruce Heald has mined, curated and saved the real story of this land's first people. Learn the unwritten laws of hospitality, respect for the aged, honesty, independence and courtesy. Discover celebrations and innovations in the good times until European disease epidemics and hostilities forced their slow retreat, leaving an enduring legacy. Book jacket.
