Overview

The Mohegan Bluffs of Block Island were named after a band of Mohegan Indians who came to pillage Manisses Island (Block Island). However, they were destroyed by the local Manissean Indians at the Island's tallest bluffs, located on the Southeast corner of the Island. I have heard many versions of this story over the years. But, even after hearing it for the first time when I was eleven years old, I wondered about how it all happened. Why did the two tribes fight in the first place? What did it look like? Why did they come to fight at that location? Did the Manisseans literally push or throw the Mohegans off the bluffs?This book takes what little documented information is available and pieces together a fictional account of how this action might have taken place.
