SUMMARY:BOOK CLUB: Whose Story? Two Views of King Philip's War
DESCRIPTION:Whose story predominates? Ever since its publication in 1682 as The Sovereignty and Goodness of God\, Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative – with its harrowing account of capture\, flight and detention as well as the death of her child – has shaped the mainstream understanding of King Philip’s War. In this view\, cruel and savage Native people wantonly invade peaceful colonial towns\, taking prisoners for ransom and brutally killing others. \nBut then came along William Apess\, author\, Pequot activist and Methodist minister\, who in the first third of the 19th century turned this story upside down. He read his powerful and eloquent challenge to the prevailing wisdom aloud to audiences across Boston – a eulogy that was subsequently printed. For Apess\, Metacom\, or King Philip\, was a hero – equal in stature to George Washington\, fighting for Native people’s rights and the true embodiment of Revolutionary principles. \nFind out what you think by joining our virtual book club discussion of Rowlandson’s captivity narrative\, on the one hand\, and William Apess’ Eulogy on King Philip on the other. \nLed by PHB book club’s own Evana Rose Tamayo\, we’ll read these primary texts side by side to see what they tell us about ways of understanding – and how they might change. Here’s what she has to say: \n“In this discussion\, we’re diving into the heart of King Philip’s War by pairing two bestselling authors who couldn’t be further apart: the captive Mary Rowlandson and the activist William Apess. It’s a study in contrast\, faith\, and the power of memory. \n“Though written over 150 years apart\, both texts grapple with the bloody toll and legacy of King Philip’s War (1675–1676). This conflict fundamentally solidified Puritan hegemony and marginalized the Indigenous peoples in New England. By reading these works together\, we will see how the same events can be cast as either a divine trial or a national tragedy\, and we can consider whether both perspectives can be true simultaneously.”

SUMMARY:Erasure: History\, Memory and King Philip's War
DESCRIPTION:Why don’t we know about King Philip’s War? Because\, says Tricia Peone\, historians from Increase Mather to Edward Everett wrote the histories\n\n\n\nWhy don’t most of us know much\, if anything\, about King Phillip’s War? Tricia Peone\, project director of the Congregational Library’s New England’s Hidden Histories project\, looks at legacy and memory in the archives. Using primary sources to show just how Indigenous history was erased\, she will introduce the CLA’s invaluable new online resource guide on the shaping of memory of King Philip’s War. \nThe shaping of public memory by white religious and political leaders in New England sought to reframe the meaning and legacy of the war. Through published histories as well as sermons and commemorative speeches from the late 17th through the late 19th century\, they effectively erased Indigenous people. \nCongregational ministers such as Increase Mather interpreted the war in religious terms and described the outcome as providential and profoundly affected the way many people in New England would make meaning out of these events. \nYou can see the trajectory of this historical influence through a remarkable new online resource\, created by the Congregational Library & Archives for our Metacom’s Resistance series. Take a few minutes to explore and better understand this history through the library’s unparallaled collections and digital archive – you won’t find a more fascinating\, comprehensive view of how a contentious history is documented and flattened to present a one-sided view. \nThe CLA resource guide includes digitized collections of church records\, histories of the war written from the perspective of the colonizers\, sermons and speeches given during and on anniversaries of the war\, and other documents related to King Phillip’s War. \nDr. Tricia Peone is the project director for New England’s Hidden Histories\, a digital archive of early church records at the Congregational LIbrary & Archives\, Boston. Prior to joining the Congregational Library\, she was a research scholar at Historic New England for the Recovering New England’s Voices project. She previously worked as the public programs director at New Hampshire Humanities\, and as a university lecturer teaching classes on the Salem witch trials\, early New England\, and public history. She holds a PhD in history from the University of New Hampshire with a specialization in the early modern Atlantic world and history of science. Her scholarship focuses on early New England\, particularly the history of magic and witchcraft\, and her work on these subjects has appeared in journals\, books\, blogs\, and on radio and television.
