A. Douglas-Lithgow is a historical account written in the early 20th century, reflecting on the indigenous tribes of Nantucket and their interactions with early European settlers. The book explores the history, culture, and legends of the Native American tribes from this island, detailing their societal structures and the changes brought by colonization. In "The Nantucket Indians," the author recounts the origins and significant legends of the Native American tribes inhabiting Nantucket, particularly focusing on notable figures like Wauwinet and his daughter Wonoma. The narrative includes poetic legends that highlight themes of love and sacrifice, while also addressing the changing dynamics that arose with the arrival of European settlers. The book discusses the eventual transfer of land and sovereignty from the native tribes to English colonists and portrays the peaceful coexistence that initially characterized their relationships. However, it also reflects on the tragic decline of the Native population due to disease, alcohol, and loss of land, culminating in the sobering realization of their near extinction by the late 18th century.
