While the poem refers to a real moment during King Philip's War (the siege of Springfield, MA, in 1675, everything else mentioned is a fictionalized narrative and utilizes racialized tropes and language. [Interestingly, it references a colonist named Patience Worth; while there is no record of her being real, in the 1910s there was a sensation surrounding a woman who claimed to be in contact with a (deceased) Patience Worth via a ouija board, through which Patience dictated novels and poetry.] *Processing note: the insides of both covers are deliberately blank; we refrained from scanning the blank reverse of inner pages to reduce the file size.
