Book Review
| Reinterpreting New England Indians and the Colonial Experience. Ed. by Colin G. Calloway and Neal Salisbury. (Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2003. 380 pp. $39.50, ISBN 0-9620737-6-8.)

| This collection is the result of a conference at Old Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts, sponsored by the Colonial Society of Massachusetts. As the title suggests, the book has as its objective to bring together two sets of scholars—native and nonnative—who in the view of the editors, Colin G. Calloway and Neal Salisbury, have been "telling histories of New England Indians that for the most part run parallel to one another" (p. 15). |

To contribute to this reevaluation, the editors have selected ten essays from the conference, ranging in time from the seventeenth century through the first half of the nineteenth century. They are centered on the tribes in southern New England, particularly the Nipmuc and the Wampanoag of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, the Mohegan in Connecticut, and the Narragansett in Rhode Island. |
