Mayflower

For info on King Philip's War, pick up a copy of "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick. Most excellant reading. Philbrick starts with the Pilgrims arrival, the Native politcal scene, the relationships between the Natives and the Pilgrims ( including Squanto's part) and how it all went to hell in a handbasket. It isn't the history we were taught in grade school, much better. Nebe, read it aloud to your son, good bedtime stories. ( Preread for any surprises, but I don'r recall any.) Then visit the sites mentioned.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
