""Letters of Samuel Lee and Samuel Sewall Relating to New England and the Indians"" is a historical book published in 1912 that compiles letters exchanged between two prominent figures in colonial Massachusetts during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Samuel Lee was a Puritan minister and missionary who worked among the Native American tribes of New England, while Samuel Sewall was a judge and politician who played a key role in the Salem Witch Trials.The book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between the English colonizers and the indigenous peoples of New England, as seen through the eyes of two men who had vastly different experiences with the Native Americans.
