Riassunto

Recollecting the bitter conflicts and rivalry among the English Settlers, the Narragansetts, the Pequots, the Mohicans, and various other Indian tribes, this book provides many factual accounts from this exciting era in New England's golden past. Following the lives of lovely Indian Maiden Heather Flower of the Montauks and the leaders red and white, this work reveals the true nature and sympathies of these figures as few other books have told. With the stories of Oliver Cromwell, Captain How, Major Gordon, and Narragansett Sachem Ninigret among others, this book tells of the land grabbing and other deeds that placed many men at odds. It tells of flint head arrows cutting the air like hissing serpents; and of many who fell with heads battered by war-clubs or cloven by tomahawks. Also crossing the paths with Mantauk Sachem Wyandance, Sachem Momommetou of the Mattitucks, Sachem Uncas, and all those who were called by the Great Spirit, this remarkable book reveals the interrelationships of these tribes and how they viewed the world. With the voyage of Captain How's ship, the Gerfalcon, from Fishers Island on through Narragansett Sound, told are the further exploits of this ship and crew as it was tossed in the raging sea. With other striking accounts of Pocahontas, Ashkickotautup, Wicchitaubit, and many other Native American women, this work weaves a tapestry of Indian folklore and legend in a single fact-filled book.
