Indigenous People & Wenham

by Robert O. Corcoran

Overview

Wenham, Massachusetts' earliest English families built their houses adjacent to a trail that connected the former Pawtucket villages at Agawam (Ipswich) and Naumkeag (Salem), near a site that had already been partially cleared by the Pawtucket to grow corn. Indigenous People & Wenham documents interactions between Wenhamites and various Indigenous peoples during the ensuing century and a half. It was a relationship characterized by Wenhamites' peaceful coexistence with friendly, low-population Indigenous peoples countered by warfare with hostile, larger-population peoples.
