Last Of The Wampanoag Larry W Jones

Last Of The Wampanoag is the account that led up to King Philip's War, also known as the First Indian War, the Great Narragansett War or Metacom's Rebellion, which took place in southern New England from 1675 to 1676. It was the Native Americans' last-ditch effort to avoid recognizing English authority and stop English settlement on their native lands. The war is named after the Wampanoag chief Metacom, later known as Philip or King Philip, who led the fourteen-month bloody rebellion. Readers will be enlightened on details of encounters between the original Plymouth colonizers from England and the original Indian inhabitants who lost everything, including the last vestiges of the Wampanoag.
