HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA...AND OF THE MOST REMARKABLE 
ENGAGEMENTS WITH THE INDIANS IN NEW ENGLAND... (and on and on and on) By 
Henry Trumbull. Published by George Clark in Boston, 1836.  A better (and 
far shorter) title for this book would be "How the Nasty, Depraved and 
Savage Indians Massacred Innocent Europeans in America Until They Were 
Wiped Out". Let's just say that Mr. Trumbull didn't hold the Indians in 
high regard. Includes some petty dramatic woodcuts...

THE EARLY HISTORY OF NEW ENGLAND, ILLUSTRATED BY NUMEROUS INTERESTING 
INCIDENTS.  By Rev. Henry White. Published by I. S. Boyd in 1841, 4th 
edition.  No bad news here, but plenty of blood and gore. Opening with the 
Puritan's in Elizabethan England and ending with the repeal of the hated 
stamp act, the Rev. White offers an extraordinarily thorough history of the 
white man in New England.

plus other books on literature, history, and much more, all offered without 
reserves.
