William Wallace Tooker

The Bocootawanaukes or The Fire Nation is a book written by William Wallace Tooker in 1901. The book provides a detailed account of the Bocootawanaukes, also known as the Fire Nation, who were a Native American tribe from Long Island, New York. Tooker's book includes historical and ethnological notes that provide insights into the tribe's culture, beliefs, and practices. He describes the tribe's social structure, religious beliefs, and customs, including their use of fire in their ceremonies and rituals. The book also includes information about the tribe's interactions with European settlers and their eventual displacement from their ancestral lands. Tooker's work is an important contribution to the study of Native American history and culture, and provides a valuable resource for researchers and scholars interested in this topic. Overall, The Bocootawanaukes or The Fire Nation is a comprehensive and informative book that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of an indigenous tribe that has largely been forgotten by history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
