The Bond of Two Worlds

Captain James Avery and Uncas First of the Mohegans

Beschreibung

Many of us have heard of the Last of the Mohegans, but few have heard of the First of the Mohegans. The Bond of Two Worlds: Captain James Avery and Uncas First of the Mohegans is the story of two influential figures who worked together to defend early colonial Connecticut. While Avery was an English colonist and military leader, Uncas was a Native American chief who played a crucial role in maintaining peace and protecting his tribe's interest. Their alliance and cooperation were essential in navigating the complex and often tense relationships between the English and the Native American tribes during early colonial America. This book is a work of historical fiction based on two very real people and historical events that really happened. This story is told through the voice of James Avery with words and interactions with real historical figures as they might have occurred as imagined by the author. It is a fascinating story based on historical facts.
