Diary of King Phillips War,
By
This review is from: Diary of King Philip's War, 1675-76 (Hardcover)
This tome is a first person report by someone who was there and did it. Col. Benj Church was both a colonist and a
respected soul by both whites and natives alike. He was deeply respected in that he kept his word to the natives but held to the position of the incursive white settlers. Church in his dotage retells his story through this diary written and later published by his son. It is noteworthy for its historical accuracy as it is chilling in the retelling of combat with the forces of King Phillip (Metacom). This was a bloody war and costly in lives lost making it, in some estimations, the costliest war on America's shores. Good reading for the average person. Informative reading to the local historian who might know the shores and trails of Southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island. |
