To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CAWNACOME, whom Drake identifies as Cone- camon, Sachem of Manomet; and I desire to digress at this point to call attention to the fact that this latter spelling is identical with that of the name of Epenow s companion in captivity when he was carried away by Harlow in 1611, and undoubtedly identifies the former victim of English cupidity with the later sachem of his tribe. OBBITINUA, said by Drake to be Obbatinewat, sachem of the Massachusetts, and subject to Mas- sasoit. Dexter disagrees with... Drake, on the theory that the colonists would not have asked him to sub mit himself by reason of his relations with Massa- soit. This reasoning seems illogical to me, because there is strong ground for believing that the Massa chusetts were not subjects, but allies of Massasoit, in fact the weight of authority strongly points to this conclusion; besides, even if he were a subject MASSASOIT 115 of Massasoit, Dexter s reasoning seems weak in view of the fact that nearly all the sachems who submitted themselves at that time were clearly sub jects of Massasoit.
