Early Among the Philippine Highlanders Author: Shelton Woods Narrator: Shelton Woods Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins Release date: 07-10-23 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 7 ratings Genres: Politics & Activism Publisher's Summary: During the first 15 years of colonial rule (1898–1913), a small group of Americans controlled the headhunting tribes who were wards of the nascent colonial government. These officials ignored laws, carved out fiefdoms, and brutalized (or killed) those who challenged their rule. John Early was cut from a different cloth. Battling colleagues and supervisors over their treatment of the mountain people, Early also had run-ins with lowland Filipino leaders like Manuel Quezon. Early's return as governor of the entire Cordillera was celebrated by all the tribes.
