    Wayland and King Philip's War
As part of the town's 375th anniversary celebration, author Michael Tougias presents a program on the war between the Colonists and Native Americans in 1675-76. One of the battles of this war took place right here in Wayland! Tougias is the author of the acclaimed Until I Have No Country (A novel of King Philip's War), and co-author with Eric Schultz of King Philip's War: The History and Legacy of America's Forgotten Conflict.

The first part of the presentation will discuss the Indian way of life, Colonial settlements, and the events leading up to the war.  The second part covers the battles and the strategy during this cataclysmic war, which on a per capita basis was the bloodiest conflict in our nation's history.  Book signing and questions follow.
