Indian Land Titles of Essex County, Massachusetts e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Subject is mainly historical. There is not much that can be said upon its legal aspect that is new, but the moral right to take by force the lands of the aborigines is still an open question. Neither is it a book of the Indians except as it relates to land titles. Most of the original Indian deeds are lost or de stroyed, the records of the transactions are passing away, and the names of localities and waters are being forgotten. Duty demands the preservation of these memorials in order that at some future time the history of our red men may be written as truly and fully as possible.
