Episode 38 — King Philip’s War — Part I

When the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth in 1620, they found allies and partners in the Wampanoag people. For a generation that alliance was beneficial to both peoples. But by 1675, the partnership had broken down and the Wampanoag and the Plymouth settlers found themselves on teh brink of war.
