In the Shadow of the Great Blue Hill

By Karen Dacey

In this accessible examination of colonial Indian affairs, Dacey provides a lively history of the intense cultural and territorial struggle between the Massachusetts Bay Puritans and the Eastern Algonquin Indians. In the Shadow of the Great Blue Hill describes both the increasingly aggressive efforts of the Puritans to dominate the Indians and the subsequent Indian response to the European's assault on their way of life.
