- Abstract
The article discusses the publication history of the manuscript "Relation of the Pequot Warres," by English New World settler and soldier Lion Gardiner. It is written as an introduction to the text of the manuscript, which is also included in this issue of the journal. Its original publication by the Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) is explained, as are editions published by the Acorn Club of Connecticut. Alterations made to Gardiner's text in various publications by Acorn editor W.N. Chattin Carlton are analyzed. Gardiner's level of actual involvement in the Pequot Wars is discussed, as is his work's narrative voice.
