Ninigret, Sachem of the Niantics and Narragansetts

David J. Silverman, professor of history, has created a biography of Ninigret, a sachem of the Niantic and Narragansett Indians. Silverman and his co-author assert that Ninigret was the most influential Indian leader of his era in southern New England as he was at the center of almost every major development involving southern New England Indians between the Pequot War of 1636–37 and King Philip's War of 1675–76.
