Excerpt from The Romance of American History: Early Annals
Pious Cotton Mather, with his heart full of sweetness and his wig full of learning, once expressed his opinion of the natives of our land in these remarkable words: "The natives of the country, now possessed by the New Englanders, had been forlorn and wretched heathen ever since their first herding there, and though we know not how and when these Indians first became inhabited of this mighty continent, yet we may guess that probably the Devil decoyed these miserable salvages hither, in hopes that the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ would never reach here, or disturb his absolute empire over them.
