King Philip's War was the result of over 50 years' tension between
the native inhabitants of New England and its colonial settlers as
the two parties competed for land and resources. A coalition of
Native American tribes fought against a force of over 1,000 men
raised by the New England Confederation of Plymouth, Connecticut,
New Haven and Massachusetts Bay, alongside their Indian allies the
Mohegans and Mohawks. The resultant fighting in Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and later Maine and New Hampshire,
resulted in the destruction of 12 towns, the death of between
600-800 colonists and 3,000 Indians, making it the deadliest war in
the history of American colonization Although war resulted in
victory for the colonists, the scale of death and destruction led
to significant economic hardship. This new study reveals the full
story of this influential conflict as it raged across New England.
Packed with maps, battle scenes, and bird's-eye-views, this is a
comprehensive guide to the war which determined the future of
colonial America.
