Evening Grace Folks~

Very informative read of our earliest settlers and the travails with the "Native Americans". It's almost as though we're reading about the British rather than Americans.

Meanwhile, the frontier exploded from Connecticut to Maine with one Indian attack after another.

This really puts in perspective how early this war was. As adept as King Philip was in his battles with the early settlers, it's strange that at the height of his career he would not think to post any sentries around his camp. Death wish?

Sadly it's probably a part of our history that is only taught in the New England States.
