EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a significant moment in American history during the 17th century. The image depicts a distressing scene from the Pequot War of 1636, where Native Americans on Block Island faced an attack by Massachusetts Bay Colony Governor John Endicott and his militia. In this historic illustration, we witness the clash between two worlds as armed settlers navigate their boat through the vast Atlantic Ocean towards Block Island. Armed with bows and arrows, Native American warriors valiantly defend their land against these foreign invaders. The intensity of the battle is palpable as archers take aim at each other amidst tumultuous waves. The artwork transports us to a time when conflicts between colonists and indigenous peoples were commonplace in North America. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by Native Americans during this period of colonization and expansion. As we delve into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that this piece holds immense historical value. It sheds light on an uprising that shaped early American history while also highlighting the resilience and strength exhibited by native communities throughout New England. This artful portrayal invites contemplation about our nation's complex past, urging us to reflect upon how these events have influenced our present-day society.
