History
The primed musket of conflict finally goes off, with devastating impact on the Plymouth Colony community of Swansea. This episode lays out the strategic and tactical advantages and disadvantages held by the Wampanoag and Puritan settler combatants, and describes the way a conflict that might have been contained escaped that containment and became a widening and extremely destructive war across New England.
