This week the final chapter of King Philip's War with guest and Film Maker Aaron Cadieux whose is working on the Documentary "The First Patriots". Try as we may it is going to go 1 more week and finish with part 3. We will try not to do many of these continuations often, however since more than 95% of Americans know anything of this war we thought it was important to share this story.
A couple of things to note: King Philip was not English nor was he French, he in fact was the chief of the Wampanoag Indians and this war was also referred to as Metacomet's War or Metacom's Rebellion. In this episode the war begins the atrocities begin as well, so parents you may want to listen first.
This has been a fascinating series and we thank Aaron Cadieux for giving his time and knowledge to us and sharing this piece of history. When this video is released, we have offered and I hope the offer was accepted, we will be hosting viewing of this film in the Atlanta Area. If you, your group or historical organization would be willing to host such an event please let me know. I would be a wonderful testament for this story to reach all 50 states.
On the lighter side Butch Holcombe with American Digger Magazine stopped by for some fun and a couple of stories with a promise to call us from the field if he makes a great find this week on vacation.
