[Magdalen] Grammar Nightmare.

[ME Michaud]

The Wikipedia article mentions that Nantucket became a haven
for people driven off their land by the European colonists, that
the Wampanoag welcomed the sojourner.

Then a long begats list of the English settlers dividing up the
real estate.

Kinda sad. A teeny bit like what I felt when Martha's Vineyard
was invaded by hedge fund managers from New York & New Jersey.
At least I didn't get TB or smallpox. Or starve to death.
