Summary "Massasoit's Town Sowams in Pokanoket, Its History Legends and Traditions" by Virginia Baker is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1904. The book delves into the life and legacy of Massasoit, the revered Wampanoag sachem, and paints a vivid picture of his homeland, Sowams, located in present-day Rhode Island. It offers insights into the geography, culture, and experiences of the Wampanoag people, particularly during the time of their interactions with early European settlers. In this comprehensive account, Baker explores the rich history of the Pocanoket region, detailing its significance as Massasoit's residence and the economic, social, and political factors that shaped the lives of its inhabitants. The narrative recounts various events, including the relationships forged between the Wampanoag tribe and the Pilgrims, notable treaties, and the challenges faced by the indigenous people as they navigated the complexities of colonization. Baker highlights Massasoit's diplomatic skills and leadership, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of this pivotal figure in American history and the resilience of his people amidst overwhelming change.
