Life of John W. Johnson

Created July 1998

This is a wonderful first hand account of a boy raised by Indians in the early 1800s in New England. It is rich in the details of the lifestyle of traveling Wabanaki family bands. John Johnson was a basket maker, Indian Doctor, and Indian entertainer.

Ne-Do-Ba is now pleased to offer this important resource in pdf format for downloading and printing.
