The History Of The Wars Of New-England With The Eaftern Indians: Or A Narrative Of Their Continued Perfidy And Cruelty (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436671828)

The History Of The Wars Of New-England With The Eastern Indians: Or A Narrative Of Their Continued Perfidy And Cruelty is a book written by Samuel Penhallow. The book provides a detailed account of the conflicts between the English colonists of New England and the indigenous tribes of the region, particularly the Eastern Indians. The book covers the period between 1675 and 1760, during which the colonists and the Indians engaged in a series of wars and skirmishes over land, resources, and other issues. Penhallow's narrative is based on his personal experiences as a soldier and a civilian during the conflicts, as well as on other primary sources such as official documents, letters, and diaries. The book describes the tactics and strategies employed by both sides, the key battles and events, and the political and social context of the conflicts. One of the main themes of the book is the perfidy and cruelty of the Eastern Indians, whom Penhallow portrays as treacherous and bloodthirsty. He describes in detail the atrocities committed by the Indians against the colonists, such as massacres, torture, and mutilation. Penhallow also criticizes the English authorities for their perceived weakness and indecisiveness in dealing with the Indian threat, and for their failure to protect the colonists and their interests. Overall, The History Of The Wars Of New-England With The Eastern Indians is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of early American history. It provides a vivid and engaging account of the conflicts between the English colonists and the Eastern Indians, and offers insights into the complex dynamics of colonialism, race, and identity in the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
