The History of King Philip's War is a comprehensive account of the conflict between the Native American tribes of New England and the English colonists in the late 17th century. Written by Thomas Church, a soldier and participant in the war, the book covers not only the titular conflict with King Philip (also known as Metacomet) but also various other expeditions against the French and Indians in the eastern parts of New England in the years 1689, 1690, 1692, 1696, and 1704. The book provides a detailed and often harrowing account of the battles, skirmishes, and atrocities committed on both sides, as well as the political and social context in which the war took place. Church's narrative is notable for its vivid descriptions of the landscape, the tactics and weapons used by both sides, and the personalities of the key figures involved. The History of King Philip's War is considered a valuable primary source for historians and scholars of early American history, as well as a compelling and engaging read for anyone interested in this tumultuous period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
