Indian Money As A Factor In New England Civilization is a historical book written by William Babcock Weeden and originally published in 1884. The book explores the role of Native American currency in the development of New England's economy and society during the colonial era.

He also examines the impact of wampum on the development of New England's colonial economy, including its use as a medium of exchange and its influence on the growth of the fur trade. The book provides a detailed analysis of the historical context surrounding the use of wampum and its role in shaping the cultural and economic landscape of New England during this period. Overall, Indian Money As A Factor In New England Civilization is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Native American currency and its impact on colonial America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
