Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This engaging book explores a linguistic curiosity found in Roger Williams' 1643 "A Key Into the Language of America". Upon examining the text, scholars discovered potential misprints in the chapter detailing the indigenous products of the New England region. The author presents compe…lling arguments suggesting that the words "Barnes" and "Old Barnes," previously translated as granaries, should instead be interpreted as "Beans" and "Old Beans." The author provides ample evidence to support this theory, citing historical documents, the works of other respected scholars, and a close analysis of Roger Williams' writing style. By correcting this presumed error, the book sheds new light on the true nature of the Native American diet and farming practices in the 17th century. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of accuracy in historical research and the value of re-examining established assumptions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
