Overview

For over 200 years, European maps showed a powerful kingdom in New England called Norumbega. Then it vanished. Scattered across the forests of Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine sit more than 800 mysterious stone chambers-astronomically aligned, corbelled like ancient Celtic structures, and dismissed by historians as ""root cellars."" Meanwhile, thousands of New England families were cycled through almshouses, asylums, orphan trains, and institutions where their heritage was relabeled, medicalized, and forgotten. Boston's Celtic Genocide investigates the possibility that these two stories are connected. Blending cartography, archaeology, genealogy, and institutional history, Huntoon explores a controversially lingering question: What if the people erased by institutions were descendants of pre-Columbian civilizations whose evidence still stands in stone across the landscape? This book does not ask the reader to accept a theory. It asks the reader to notice what history has not explained. We ask you to consider reading this with the truthful understanding that it is written from someone who's family was systematically victimized, raped of body, mind, soul, heritage, and land; and was further grouped in with our own oppressor 3 generations later. This is our successful assertion of those facts.
