Brooks uses careful research and vivid storytelling to reveal a fuller picture of war, captivity, and Native resistance during the King Philip’s War. She focuses on the lives of Weetamoo, a powerful Wampanoag leader, and James Printer, a Nipmuc scholar, whose paths connect through the captivity of Mary Rowlandson. By following their stories Brooks offers a new way to understand the beginnings of colonial New England. Her groundbreaking work is rooted not only in historical documents but also in the land, communities, and long-standing knowledge of Native New England, showing how the past and the landscape inform each other.
