What it is
The whole Bible translated into an Algonquian language and printed at Cambridge, Massachusetts, by a team in which the Native collaborators did much of the work.
Why it lasted
The first Bible printed in the Americas, in a language then spoken by thousands and now being revived partly from this text.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
