Indian Converts is a non-fiction book written by Experience Mayhew in 1727. The book provides a detailed account of the lives and deaths of a significant number of Christianized Indians who lived on Martha's Vineyard in New England. Mayhew, a Christian missionary, spent many years working with the Wampanoag tribe on Martha's Vineyard, and this book is a compilation of his observations and experiences during that time. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the Wampanoag tribe and their interactions with European settlers. It also describes Mayhew's efforts to convert the tribe to Christianity and the challenges he faced in doing so. The second part of the book contains biographical sketches of several Indian converts, including their life stories and dying speeches. These stories provide insight into the lives and beliefs of the Wampanoag people and their experiences with Christianity. Overall, Indian Converts is an important historical document that sheds light on the early interactions between Native Americans and European settlers in New England. It provides a unique perspective on the conversion of Native Americans to Christianity and the impact that this had on their lives and communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
