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 UR - http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=014896551&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0719/2005058470-s.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0719/2005058470-t.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0719/2005058470-b.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0719/2005058470-d.html ER -
