Excerpt from History of the Pequot War: The Contemporary Accounts of Mason, Underhill, Vincent and Gardener

The increasing demand for full and accurate reprints of early narratives, contemporary with the events they describe, is an interesting feature of the present revival of interest in American history. The originals of many of these earlier narratives are, of course, now very rare, and to be found only in special collections or in the largest libraries. Much of the more valuable material has been reprinted from time to time by printing clubs and historical societies; but these reprints themselves have, in many cases, become scarce or inaccessible. This may be said of the narratives brought together in this volume, of which only two have before been reprinted in full in separate form. They have, however, all been reprinted in various volumes of The Massachusetts Historical Society Collections, and it is from this source that the present publication is made, with the kind permission of the Society. The text, as found in the Collections, has been followed closely, and the order of publication preserved; most of the notes have been retained and a few added, mainly in Masons Narrative, to which prominence is given for apparent reasons.
