The Taking of the Land

By akl3b |

“The Taking of the Land,” on view through June 2022, features exceedingly rare and culturally significant books, maps, documents, and broadsides from the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library and challenges the four-hundred-year-old narrative that English colonists, seeking new lives in a new world, discovered land that was mostly unoccupied — and that the taking was righteous and justified.
