- Summary
- "This book deals with the Indians and the settlers as they clashed in the Nashaway Valley at the time of the so-called King Philips' War in 1675-76, and it follows the history of those great chiefs and squaw-sachems that came to the Great Powwow on Mount Wachusett to consult together as to the best means of driving the white man (incidentally the English) from these shores."--page v.
