Early Mayflower descendants migrate inland from Plymouth to establish their mills on the myriad streams and rivers of East Standish, twenty-five miles south of Boston. Six years later, local Satpanoag Indians burn the town's eleven houses to the ground and slaughter all of its citizens, save one, an enormous man with long white hair, a man described as the one "who was not one of the new white men, but the one who was always here." Forty years later, town clergy unite and reportedly burn the man alive in his own home-but no body is ever found. In the ensuing years, town records document the burnings as well as the extraordinary amount of deaths occurring in East Standish, many of them accidental and unexplained. Tim O'Shea's modern-day encounters with the giant man, both actual and in horrible nightmares, describe the existence of an entity who many believe still dwells along the rivers and streams of southeastern Massachusetts.
