On the raw edge of seventeenth-century New England, war reshaped a fragile world. War on the colonial frontier. In The History of King Philip's War, Thomas Church, edited by Samuel G. Drake, gathers his father Colonel Benjamin Church's first-hand campaigns against Native nations and the French into one of the defining primary source war accounts in colonial American history. From King Philip's War through the expeditions of 1689, 1690, 1692, 1696 and 1704, these accounts trace the brutal realities of New England Indian wars, shifting alliances, frontier raids and Puritan New England history, alongside reflections on divine providence and survival. It is both a campaign narrative and a human record of 17th-century New England under siege, central to any serious King Philip's War history or American frontier warfare history. As a classic colonial history edition and enduring reference for military historians and colonial history students, this narrative illuminates strategy, terrain, and the contested moral world of the colonial New England frontier, while preserving rare detail on French and Indian conflicts and Indigenous resistance. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful 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. Ideal for anyone drawn to early American studies, Puritan society, or the tangled origins of empire, it rewards both the curious casual reader and the devoted collector of colonial American history books.
