Son Of Mashpee

Part biography, part history, Son of Mashpee is a portrait of Chief Flying Eagle, Earl Mills, Sr., & his family with a strong emphasis on the heritage & legacy of the Wampanoags. The story of the Wampanoag tribe & story of the Mills family are parallel in time & go back to the 18th century. The book which is richly illustrated with old photographs, maps & drawings presents Mashepee on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, as it once was & is today. It includes also the co-authors' discussion on a variety of topics as the annual pow wows & the dramatic changes in the Wampanoag community after the 1976 lawsuit when the Mashpee Wampanoags tried to regain ownership of their land. CAPE COD TIMES recommends SON OF MASHPEE as a "highly readable, often humorous & thoroughly entertaining book that should be read by anyone who doesn't have an understanding of the tribe's importance to Mashpee & Cape Cod." Published by Word Studio of North Falmouth, the 8 1/2" x 11" soft-cover book is printed in sepia on 128 pages of acid-free paper for archival preservation. To order: Word Studio, P.O.
