Metacom,
known as King Philip, was chief of the Wampanoag Indians
and son of Massasoit, who lived peacefully with the
settlers since the
arrival of the Pilgrims. King Philip, however, saw that
whites were expanding into Indian territory, and made
plans to resist. King Philip and a band of Wampanoags
vandalized a frontier community in the 17th century,
had begun. Although the Narragansett and Nipmuck Indians
joined forces with the Wampanoags, King Philip sensed
defeat and fled into the forest. The near annihilation
of the Narragansett Indians in 1676 ended hostilities,
leaving six hundred colonists and even more Indians,
including King Philip, dead.

near Fort Laramie, in southeastern Wyoming. The cow's owner
complains to the fort's commander. A brash Brevet Second Lieutenant
John L. Grattan, and thirty volunteers leave the fort to find
the SIOUX involved. Grattan goes to Conquering Bear's Brule
SIOUX camp near Ash Hollow, and demands the Indian who shot
the cow. Grattan makes numerous threats to the SIOUX, but
they won't hand over High Forehead. During the parlay, a shot
rings out, and Grattan's artillery gunners open fire on the
camp. Conquering Bear tries to get both sides to stop shooting,
but he is hit by an artillery round. Eventually, all but one
