The pilgrims and the Indians: A paradigm for peaceful coexistence? What is the real story?

Here is part two of my series on the Pilgrims. All I can say is that the stories we heard growing up about the pilgrims and the Indians does not resemble the facts as primary documents and history written about these groups has reported in the annals of research and history writing. Take a read and tell me what you think?

This is one of two posts on the history of Pilgrims and Puritans in New England.  I traveled to Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard and learned a great deal about the impact of their traditions on religion in American history. Take a read and tell me what you think.
