Phibrick brings extensive historical research to reveal a real world experience of the period. His fair presentation of facts from all sides in the conflict lends new insights and interpretations of the old staid history taught to generations of school children. A considerable portion of the book covers the events of King Phillips War, again revealing a part of New England history and the significance to the formative years of our nation often overlooked. I found the book provided a wonderful insight to the life of the period, and an exciting, dramatic story.
