OUR HISTORY PROJECT - 05-02-09 - KING PHILIP'S - WAR PART 2


This week we hear part 2 of King Philip’s War with guest and Film Maker Aaron Cadieux whose is working on the Documentary “The First Patriots”. Try as we may it is going to go 1 more week and finish with part 3. We will try not to do many of these continuations often, however since more than 95% of Americans know anything of this war we thought it was important to share this story.

A couple of things to note: King Philip was not English nor was he French, he in fact was the chief of the Wampanoag Indians and this war was also referred to as Metacom's War or Metacom's Rebellion. In this episode the war begins the atrocities begin as well, so parents you may want to listen first.
This has been a fascinating series and we thank Aaron Cadieux for giving his time and knowledge to us and sharing this piece of history.

On the lighter side Butch Holcombe with American Digger Magazine stopped by for some fun and a couple of stories and Cassie had some news about some legislation being passed and a first ever for our country.

Oh, get those Titles for our segment with American Digger in. Next week we will decide on a name for it. Keep in mind we are wanting a name for the segment only, the Show already has a name “Our History Project.” If your name for the segment is chosen you will get a 1 year subscription to American Digger. Good Luck!
