Awesome History on this Day - 1676

King Phillip portrait by Paul Revere in 1772
On this day John Alderman, a Praying Indian(an Native American converted to Christianity), shot and killed the King Phillip, Grand Sachem of the Wampanoags, leader of the rebellious Native Americans. He was subsequently beheaded, drawn and quartered. He was essentially killed and killed some more.
