Abbott begins with the landing of the Pilgrims and the friendship of Massasoit, then traces the growing tensions, the Pequot War, and the reign of Massasoit’s son Metacom, known to the English as King Philip. The book follows the bloody conflict of 1675 and 1676 and does not spare the colonists, condemning the sale of captives into slavery.
