This volume collects the writings of Daniel Gookin, superintendent of the Praying Indians in Massachusetts. In this capacity he visited and, in some sense, oversaw the several praying towns that came into being after 1650. At the time of King Philip's War, he devoted himself to protecting the Christian Indians from other colonists. He wrote extensively about their sufferings, describing in detail the lives of Massachusetts, Nipmuc, Pennacook, and Mohawk Indians, among others. His sympathetic rendering placed him at odds with European settlers of his own time.
