In a struggle for dominance within New England, King Philip's War exploded in 1675 pitting Native Americans against Puritans.

New England on Fire!
Stories from King Philip's War
by Margaret Tubbs Barton

Philip, sachem of the Wampanoags, leads a confederation of native tribes in an attempt to drive the Puritan colonists from New England in 1675.

Written as a fictional re-enactment of actual events, the 24 short stories chronicle episodes leading up to and during King Philip's War. Notes between stories provide a bridge from one episode to the next giving the reader a full understanding of this little known war and its consequences.

Intended for high school and college students of U. S. history as well as the general reader who is interested in an incredible story of greed, incompetence and brutality that most of us never learned about in school. The book includes 22 pages of supplementary material.

"The author has captured the heart and spirit of my people."
