Yet, as author Philbrick reveals, the true story of the Pilgrims is much more than the well-known tale of piety and sacrifice; it is a 55-year epic. The Mayflower's religious refugees arrived in Plymouth Harbor during a period of crisis for Native Americans, as disease spread by European fishermen devastated their populations. Initially the two groups maintained a fragile working relationship. But within decades, New England erupted into King Philip's War, a savage conflict that nearly wiped out colonists and natives alike, and forever altered the face of the fledgling colonies and the country that would grow from them. Philbrick has fashioned a fresh portrait of the dawn of American history--dominated right from the start by issues of race, violence, and religion.--From publisher description. 600 10 Bradford, William,|d1590-1657. 600 10 Church, Benjamin,|d1639-1718. 650 0 Large type books. 650 0 Pilgrims (New Plymouth Colony) 650 9 Indians of North America|xWars|y1600-1750. 651 0 Massachusetts|xHistory|yNew Plymouth, 1620-1691. 690 7 Indigenous peoples|zNorth America|xWars|y1600-1750.|2local DEI term 914 FARM108916 994 90|bXOF
