A compelling and original recovery of Native American resistance
and adaptation to colonial America With rigorous original
scholarship and creative narration, Lisa Brooks recovers a complex
picture of war, captivity, and Native resistance during the "First
Indian War" (later named King Philip's War) by relaying the stories
of Weetamoo, a female Wampanoag leader, and James Printer, a Nipmuc
scholar, whose stories converge in the captivity of Mary
Rowlandson. Through both a narrow focus on Weetamoo, Printer, and
their network of relations, and a far broader scope that includes
vast Indigenous geographies, Brooks leads us to a new understanding
of the history of colonial New England and of American origins.
Brooks's pathbreaking scholarship is grounded not just in extensive
archival research but also in the land and communities of Native
New England, reading the actions of actors during the seventeenth
century alongside an analysis of the landscape and interpretations
informed by tribal history.
