An Historical Account of the Doings and Sufferings of the Christian Indians in New England in the Years 1675-1677 is a book written by Daniel Gookin. The book is a detailed historical account of the experiences of Christian Indians in New England during the years 1675-1677. During this period, tensions between the English colonizers and the native people of the region had escalated into the King Philip's War. The Christian Indians, who had converted to Christianity and allied with the English, were caught in the middle of this conflict and faced persecution and violence from both sides. Gookin, who was a Puritan minister and a colonial administrator, wrote this book as a way to document the experiences of the Christian Indians and to defend their actions and loyalty to the English. The book provides a detailed account of the events of the war, including battles, massacres, and negotiations between the English and the native people. It also includes personal stories of individual Christian Indians and their experiences during the war. Overall, An Historical Account of the Doings and Sufferings of the Christian Indians in New England in the Years 1675-1677 is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of a marginalized group during a tumultuous period in American history.1836. Transactions and collections of the American Antiquarian Society Volume II. This volume was impartially drawn by one well acquainted with that affair, and presented unto the right Honorable the Corporation residing in London, appointed by the King's most excellent majesty for promoting the gospel among the Indians in America. In preparing this brief sketch of the principal incidents in the life of the author, the Publishing Committee consulted the original authorities cited by the American biographical writers, and such other sources of information as were known to them, for the purposes of insuring greater accuracy; but the account is almost wholly confined to the period of the author's residence in New England, and is necessarily given in the most concise manner.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
