Published in 1904, 'Little Metacomet: Or, The Indian Playmate' by Hezekiah Butterworth is a historical fiction that explores life in 17th-century New England during the Indian Wars. The story follows a young Native American boy, Metacomet, son of King Philip, and his friendship with a timid white girl named Susan.
