Sears Nickerson Subjects: Indians of North America -- New England -- First contact with Europeans; Indians of North America -- New England -- History; New England -- History -- Colonial Period ca. 1600-1775; Early Encounters contains a selection of nineteen essays from the papers of prominent New England historian, antiquarian, and genealogist Warren Sears Nickerson (1880-1966). This extensive study of his own family ties to the Mayflower, and his exhaustive investigation of the first contacts between Europeans and Native Americans, in what is today New England, made him an unquestioned authority in both fields.
