New England on Fire! Stories from King Philip's War

By Margaret Barton

Fifty years after the Pilgrims arrived on the New England shore, the friendly relationship between the colonists and the natives unraveled, exploding in a violent war of ruthless attacks on colonial towns and Native American villages. King Philip's War (1675-76) caused devastating economic and human losses. In addition, it robbed the native people of their land and their heritage. Based on historical facts and people and placed in chronological order, the 24 short stories tell the shocking saga of this little known war. The author brings to life a cast of fascinating characters including the inflexible and arrogant governor of Plymouth Colony, Josiah Winslow; the highly competent militarist, Benjamin Church; and the wily sachem of the Wampanoag Indians, Philip.
