Book Description
The tragic and fascinating history of the first epic struggle between white settlers and Native Americans in the early seventeenth century: “a riveting historical validation of emancipatory impulses frustrated in their own time” (Booklist, starred review) as determined Narragansett Indians refused to back down and accept English authority. A devout Puritan minister in seventeenth-century New England, Roger Williams was also a social critic, diplomat, theologian, and politician who fervently believed in tolerance. Yet his orthodox brethren were convinced tolerance fostered anarchy and courted God’s wrath. Banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, Williams purchased land from the Narragansett Indians and laid the foundations for the colony of Rhode Island as a place where Indian and English cultures could flourish side by side, in peace. As the seventeenth century wore on, a steadily deepening antagonism developed between an expansionist, aggressive Puritan culture and an increasingly vulnerable, politically divided Indian population. Indian tribes that had been at the center of the New England communities found themselves shunted off to the margins of the region. By the 1660s, all the major Indian peoples in southern New England had come to accept English authority, either tacitly or explicitly. All, except one: the Narragansetts. In God, War, and Providence “James A. Warren transforms what could have been merely a Pilgrim version of cowboys and Indians into a sharp study of cultural contrast…a well-researched cameo of early America” (The Wall Street Journal). He explores the remarkable and little-known story of the alliance between Roger Williams’s Rhode Island and the Narragansett Indians, and how they joined forces to retain their autonomy and their distinctive ways of life against Puritan encroachment. Deeply researched, “Warren’s well-written monograph contains a great deal of insight into the tactics of war on the frontier” (Library Journal) and serves as a telling precedent for white-Native American encounters along the North American frontier for the next 250 years.

BANCROFF PRIZE WINNER • King Philip's War, the excruciating racial war—colonists against Indigenous peoples—that erupted in New England in 1675, was, in proportion to population, the bloodiest in American history. Some even argued that the massacres and outrages on both sides were too horrific to "deserve the name of a war." The war's brutality compelled the colonists to defend themselves against accusations that they had become savages. But Jill Lepore makes clear that it was after the war—and because of it—that the boundaries between cultures, hitherto blurred, turned into rigid ones. King Philip's War became one of the most written-about wars in our history, and Lepore argues that the words strengthened and hardened feelings that, in turn, strengthened and hardened the enmity between Indigenous peoples and Anglos. Telling the story of what may have been the bitterest of American conflicts, and its reverberations over the centuries, Lepore has enabled us to see how the ways in which we remember past events are as important in their effect on our history as were the events themselves.

Book Description
Finding Balance brings the stories of Eastern Woodland Tribal Nations to the reader in a way that no one has ever done before. In order to determine an accurate account of a story, history must be viewed through the multiple perspectives of all involved. Finding Balance weighs in, as a valuable source. Written in a Native American perspective, Deborah Spears Moorehead's book is a unique, and compelling documentary of contrasts between Seaconke Pokanoket Wampanoag history and the American Colonial version of history. Finding Balance reports and reflects on the alliances and war between the Wampanoags and the British. Finding Balance examines the centuries before and after King Phillip's War through the lens of a Seaconke Pokanoket Wampanoag woman. Spears Moorehead transfers the reader back into a time and allows the reader a reflection of a concealed world, set up to protect the Seaconke Pokanoket Wampanoag after King Phillip's War. Finding Balance presents the Native American treasured stories of endurance, and determination into the future as a sovereign nation. A blend of accounts that include scholarly reports, extensive interviews, life altering research, and the Oral History of the Seaconke Pokanoket Wampanoag Tribal Nation, the reader will find at the core of this narrative the fortitude of the Wampanoag Nation.
