|
John Sassamon was a Wompanoag Indian who lived in southeastern Massachusetts and died under mysterious circumstances in January of 1675. Sassamon was a "Praying Indian", an Indian who could communicate in English as well as various native dialects and, as such, found himself operating in two separate but adjacent cultures. The Sassamon Circle examines the inherent tensions and conflicts that arose between the English and Indian populations during the first fifty years after the arrival of the Pilgrims, tensions that led directly to Sassamon's death and culminated with King Philip's War.
Louis Garafalo is a native of southeastern Massachusetts where he lives with his wife and two sons. The Sassamon Circle is his first work of historical fiction. He is also the author of The Road To Phrygia, a work of religious fiction.
