| Summary: | "In Uncas: First of the Mohegans, Michael Leroy Oberg integrates the life story of an important Native American sachem into the broader story of European settlement in America. The arrival of the English in Connecticut in the 1630s upset the established balance among the region's native groups and brought rapid economic and social change. Oberg argues that Unca's methodical and sustained strategies for adapting to these changes made him the most influential Native American leader in colonial New England."--BOOK JACKET. |
