Foreword
BY WAYNE FRANKLIN
There's an art to finding out where you are, an art you may not recognizeor know you lackuntil you need it. Over three hundred years ago, in the spring of 1676, a young English boy made his way out of his shelter and started moving off through the forest. He had been taken prisoner by the Indians during the bloody war then being fought under the leadership of "King Philip" to determine who was to control the land, and though he probably had been treated well and might have come to find the Indian manner of living more appealing than that of his own grim Puritan community, as many other English captives did, he had been brought up to hold the natives in dread, and hence he longed to run away and find his old home. Even in his dread, however, he must have known that finding his way in the dim woods would be extremely hard. As long as he remained with his captors, he didn't have to worry about where he was or where he was going. Once off on his own, however, he would have to orient himself and by intuition or sheer luck find his way back.
