Handwriting Games and Indian Converts

At SEA, Laura Leibman told me about some great resources she's been involved with developing on the Reed College website. Here is a picture of a fun game you will find on the Early American Handwriting website.


Then check out the Indian Converts Collection, a great website with "information about life on Martha's Vineyard for both Wampanoags and white settlers." The online archive contains more than 600 images and documents that contextualize Experience Maynew's 1727 Indian Converts, or Some account of the lives and dying speeches of a considerable number of Christianized Indians of Martha’s Vineyard, in New-England (new edition edited by our Ms. Leibman, UMass Amherst 2008). Beautiful work, Laura!
