Randy, I have a copy of a reprint 2001 that I got from Barnes & Noble for 14.95 and checking there today I find it is now 16.95. It is now titled Massasoit Of The Wampanoags by Alvin G Weeks and the cover says As Published in 1920. Inside says Privately Printed 1920 and has the same 270 pages. I got this book as I'm very interested in Massasoit and the Wampanoags as I have traced my father's family back to Massasoit. I would love to have any information you have on Massasoit, Wamsutta, Weetamo and their daughter Laughing Water. She married William Austin the son of William Austin, famous scout.
