Shiffer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "John Eliot's First Indian Teacher and Interpreter Cockenoe-de-Long Island and…" by William Wallace Tooker is a historical account written in the late 1800s. The book details the life and contributions of Cockenoe, a Long Island Indian who played a crucial role as a teacher and interpreter for John Eliot, a missionary known for his efforts in educating Native Americans and translating religious texts into their languages. The narrative delves into Cockenoe's experiences, his interactions with early English settlers, and how he navigated the complex social dynamics between Native Americans and colonists during that period. The book outlines Cockenoe's journey from being a captive during the Pequot War to becoming a pivotal figure in the early interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. It chronicles his linguistic skills, his significant influence on Eliot's missionary work, and his subsequent role in various land transactions and disputes involving Native tribes and colonial authorities. Through a series of records and testimonies, Tooker presents Cockenoe not only as an interpreter but also as an essential bridge between two cultures, reflecting on his legacy and the broader impact he had on the history of Long Island and its Indigenous peoples.
