Abstract

Before there was Amherst, there was Nonotuck. When Emily’s ancestor, Nathaniel Dickinson, and a group of withdrawers from the churches at Hartford and Wethersfield sought to settle a plantation on the Connecticut River, they knew they were requesting land in Nonotuck, one of many Indigenous homelands on Kwinitekw, the long river. This essay highlights the prominent role of the Dickinson family in the story of the colonization of the Connecticut River Valley, focusing especially on deeds, negotiations, warfare, and captivity. It also locates Emily Dickinson’s ancestors and the Connecticut River Valley within the larger networks of Native space. The essay focuses on the period 1650–1759, including the Anglo-Abenaki wars and the settlement of Amherst, but touches on nineteenth-century Amherst, as well.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
