[NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS, MOHICAN TRIBE]. FITCH, JOHN G., Indian Agent. Autograph document signed ("Fitch"), n.p. [Norwich, Connecticut], December 1837 through February 1838. 6 1/2 pages, folio, 401 x 167mm. (15 3/4 x 6 1/2 in.), neatly sewn in ledger form, several corners chipped, fold separations repaired from verso. THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS. An interesting ledger in tabular form recording in considerable detail accounts of purchases, services, rents and other related expenses charged to various members of the Mohican tribe in Norwich, Connecticut, including rent, Thanksgiving rations, legal services, clothes, construction materials, domestic items and funeral expenses. The Mohican (or Mohegan), an Algonkian tribe, had held lands in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, but during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries sold virtually all of their ancestral lands and retreated to a small reservation in New London county, where they drifted into near extinction. The present document dates from the period in which the Mohicans had nearly passed into extinction.
