| Summary | "Some Three Hundred Years Ago" by Edith Gilman Brewster is a historical fiction work, likely written in the early 20th century. The book presents a vibrant tapestry of life in early New England, focusing on the experiences of children and the interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. It highlights characters like Nonowit, an Indian boy, and various settlers, encapsulating the essence of community, adventure, and the challenges faced during this transformative period in American history. The opening portion of the book introduces Nonowit in the spring of 1603, as he navigates the complexities of his world in New Hampshire, where his tribe is preparing for a fishing expedition. As he is left behind during the preparations, he witnesses the arrival of a European ship, leading to a mix of fear and curiosity about the strangers. The narrative seamlessly transitions to other characters, including Jacques and Capt. John Smith, who represent French and English perspectives of exploration. This sets the stage for a series of stories that explore significant encounters, cultural exchanges, and the adventurous lives of children in this burgeoning world, foreshadowing the intertwining fates of the indigenous and colonial populations.
