Black Goose: The History of Seekonk, Volume One is a comprehensive look into the early shared history of several Southern New England towns, including Seekonk, Rehoboth, East Providence, and Pawtucket to name a few. This compelling literary narrative explains how the Seekonk Plain became the first frontier settlement of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies starting in the early colonial year of 1643. This volume covers the early life of the Wampanoag people. It describes the first European colonization that led to one of the bloodiest wars in American history, King Philip's War. It describes a detailed portrait of the major people that shaped early Southern New England, including Roger Williams, William Blackstone, Samuel Newman, Chief Massasoit, and the great Wampanoag leader, King Philip himself.
