To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have already seen that on December 8, 1620, the Nausets attacked the crew of the Mayflower's shallop, and, while the numbers of the attacking party are not mentioned, there can be no doubt, from Bradford's description, that they were in suffi- cient force to make a considerable demonstration and cause great alarm and uneasiness, and Samoset is said to have told the Ekiglish that Aspinet had one Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE WAMPANOAGS 81 hundred warriors. In addition to the inhabitants of the Po...kanoket country and the Nausets, both of which we have briefly discussed, there is abundant evidence that there were tribes of no mean propor- tions at Capawack (Martha's Vineyard), Manomet and Monamoyick, Sawkattucket, Nobsquosset and Matakes, besides that on Nantucket Island, in the eastern part of Massasoit's domain; at Assawam- sett, and Nemasket, at Sakonnet at the mouth of the river of the same name, and at Pocasset, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say ui the Sakonnet territory and the Pocasset territory, for the former extended over the southern part of Tiverton and all of Little Compton, Rhode Island, and the& latter, lying inamediately east of the Pokanoket territory, extended from Coles Eiver in Swansea eastward at least four miles beyond the Taunton River, and from the narrows in the Sakonnet River, where the Tiverton Stone Bridge now stands, northward to the northern boundary of Freetown, including part of Tiverton, Rhode Island, all of Fall River, most of Freetown, and parts of Berkley, Dighton, Somer- set and Swansea, Massachusetts.
