- Summary:
- Matthew J. Tuininga tells the epic yet tragic story of the Puritan conquest of New England from the perspective of those who lived it, both colonists and Native Americans. Religion, he argues, was the central driving force of both peaceful efforts to convert Native Americans to Christianity and the brutal slaughter of Native Americans in wartime.
