Land of the Wolf: The Pequot War

by Michael Bliss

Discovery of the New World brings the white man to the shores of the Pequot. New relationships blossom and fade as a struggle to reconcile differences ensues. Three young Pequot natives find themselves in a rapidly changing world. Unsure of what each day will bring, they seek guidance from a Dutch explorer who is seeking change from a past life.

Meanwhile, in the English colony of Massachusetts, a reverend attempts to balance the spiritual and physical while learning the ways of his neighbors. The arrival of the white man is not accepted by all. Many braves despise what they deem to be an invasion of their homeland, and the native braves are not alone in their displeasure. Many Englishmen also struggle with the new life that has been set before them.

Amid the fast changing landscape, some nations grow and prosper while others suffer great losses. This is the story of the Pequot War.
