Before New England became a myth, it was a frontier of dread, negotiation, and sudden violence. Increase Mather records it with the urgency of a witness and the reach of a historian. Stakes: life, land, survival, faith. Early History Of New England is a bracing colonial America history book and a Puritan historical chronicle of first encounters and escalating Indian settler conflicts in 17th century New England. At its centre are two defining flashpoints: a tightly focused Pequot War narrative ending in 1637, and a probing account of King Philip's War origins that shows how fear, policy, and mistrust hardened into catastrophe. Written from within the Massachusetts Bay Colony world-view, it captures how settlers interpreted providence, warfare, diplomacy, and community survival, making it invaluable for early American history research as well as for readers drawn to stark human drama. It also sits in conversation with foundational testimonies such as the Mary Rowlandson captivity narrative and William Bradford Plymouth history, helping modern readers trace the literary and moral vocabulary of early colonisation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This unabridged historical reprint belongs on the shelf of classic-history collectors, yet reads with enough momentum for curious general readers who want to understand how New England's earliest conflicts were first told, remembered, and argued over.
