The Venerable Mayhews and the Aboriginal Indians of Martha’s Vineyard (1874)

William Allen Hallock

The Venerable Mayhews and the Aboriginal Indians of Martha's Vineyard is a historical book written by William Allen Hallock and published in 1874. The book tells the story of the Mayhew family, who were missionaries to the Native American tribes on Martha's Vineyard in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Mayhews were instrumental in converting the Wampanoag tribe to Christianity and establishing a peaceful relationship between the Native Americans and the English settlers. The book provides a detailed account of the Mayhews' work, including their interactions with the Wampanoag people, the establishment of schools and churches, and the translation of the Bible into the Wampanoag language. The book also explores the cultural and religious practices of the Wampanoag people and the impact of colonization on their way of life. The Venerable Mayhews and the Aboriginal Indians of Martha's Vineyard is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Native American-English relations and the role of missionaries in colonial America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
