Summary:
Book review of, "A Rhode Islander on King Phillip's War" editted by Douglas Edward Leach, and subtitled " The Second William Harris Letter of August, 1676." It is a literal transcription on the left-hand page, with a more readable modernized version on the right-hand pages. The article contains a summary of the "Letter." Dr. Leach believes that Harris was well acquainted with the Indians and that his account is "fresh, close to events, and without conscious distortion."
