Poetry. Native American Studies. A meditation on tribe and family, natural harmony and human tolerance, KING PHILIP'S WAR tells the story of the New England Algonquians who hosted the first Thanksgiving and were, within half a century of the European arrival, victims of genocide. With lyric intensity, the book reveals the inner life of King Philip, the rebel Wampanoag leader who led the uprising that historians have called the bloodiest war in American history. Moving from rage to tenderness and resignation, Philip's voice is redolent with the rhythm of the seasons, the beliefs and dreams of an ancient people, and the bitter realities of a civilization being lost. The book—born from historical record and native legend—is a meditation on tribe and family, natural harmony and human tolerance, and has much to say about our 21st century struggle to protect our own civilization.
