So Dreadfull a Judgment: Puritan Responses to King Philip's War, 1676–1677 Paperback – Illustrated, January 15, 1999

For the newly established New England colonies, the war with the Indians of 1675–77 was a catastrophe that pushed the settlements perilously close to worldly ruin. Moreover, it seemed to call into question the religious mission and spiritual status of a group that considered itself a Chosen People, carrying out a divinely inspired "errand into the wilderness." Seven texts reprinted here reveal efforts of Puritan writers to make sense of King Philip's War. Largely unavailable since the 19th century, they represent the various divisions of Puritan society and literary forms typical of Puritan writing, from which emerged some of the most vital genres of American popular writing. Thoroughly annotated, the book contains a general introduction and introductions to each text.

Review
"A major and permanent contribution to the study of American culture, equally valuable for the fullness of its selections and for the incisive, comprehensive, and enormously suggestive commentaries by the editors"―Sacvan Bercovitch

It doesn't have too much in the way of annotations and textual apparatus, which I found to be very good for my graduate study in this area. This is a specialized text for people who have an academic interest in this area and who are looking for a rich, yet not overwhelming, collection of primary texts.
