From Plymouth to the pinewoods of Maine, war reshaped a fragile colony. War came to New England. Benjamin Church's firsthand narrative records king philip's war as a hard-edged colonial war chronicle, tracing the native American colonial conflict that flared across 17th century New England and into colonial Massachusetts and Maine. Written by a commander who knew the terrain and the stakes, it moves with the urgency of lived experience while offering the careful detail historians prize. Church also follows the later eastward struggles - the French and Indian raids of 1689, 1690, 1692, 1696, and 1704 - revealing how colonial frontier warfare endured long after the first shock of 1675-76. For American history students, it is a primary source - an annotated primary source for close study; for readers of Puritan New England history, it is a bracing window on policy, alliance, fear, and survival. Genealogy and local history researchers will find places, communities, and patterns of conflict set down close to their origin. Republished by Alpha Editions in a modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Presented as a complete text edition, it stands beside classic chronicles of early America, a vital record of a contested frontier. As one of the earliest book-length accounts of these campaigns, it helps explain the making of regional memory and the language of settlement. A companion for classic-literature shelves and history readers alike.
