Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civilization and Barbarism: Illustrated by Especial Reference to Metacomet and the Extinction of His Race In the pages which shall follow care will be taken to exhibit with impartiality naked facts. That they may be presented as they really exist, reference will necessarily be made almost entirely to the records of the doings of the white man and of the provocations of the dispossessed. The chronicles of such as had the ability to transmit to other generations the doings of the one, or of the provocations and sufferings of the other, must be our guide. It has been pertinently remarked by another, that Meta comet and his race, the kindly reception accorded to their in vaders notwithstanding, lived like fugitives in their native land, and went down like a bark foundering amid darkness and tempest, without a pitying eye to weep their fate or a friendly hand to make record of their struggle. Still it is not so much the intent of our narrative to perform an act of humanity for the natives, or to qualify the impressions made by the spirit of their Oppressors, as to set forth a plain and unvarnished tale of facts in their due connection and with im portant bearings, leaving the reader to his own conclusions.
