Basic READING LIST for MAINE’S 3-SIDED COLONIAL FRONTIER ENCOUNTERS
on the Dawnland Frontier – Wabanaki Natives and French & English Newcomers Interacting
by Alvin Hamblen Morrison
After reading most-if-not-all of my other Mawooshen Memos (in SakamoSeries; FAQ; N&Q), and SPAP Reports Nos I-1&2; I-3,4,5; and I-6, Colin Calloway’s 1991 book Dawnland Encounters is the most-for-your-money single-book efficiency study.
But a slower-paced study could include:

William LEMKE (1990): THE WILD,WILD EAST:  Unusual Tales of Maine History. Camden ME: Yankee Books. [The first 10 tales (covering 1524-1745) are relevant-&-fun quick reading]
