Bag om History Of The Pequot War

""History of the Pequot War"" is a book written by Charles Orr that was first published in 1897. The book provides a detailed account of the Pequot War, a conflict that took place in 1637 between the Pequot tribe and the English colonists in Connecticut. The author draws on the contemporary accounts of four key figures involved in the conflict: John Mason, John Underhill, Lion Gardener, and Philip Vincent. The book begins by providing background information on the Pequot tribe and the English colonists in Connecticut. It then goes on to describe the events that led up to the conflict, including the murder of English traders by the Pequot and the subsequent retaliatory attacks by the colonists. The book then provides a detailed account of the actual conflict, including the battles of Mystic Fort and Saybrook Fort. Throughout the book, the author provides insights into the motivations and actions of both the Pequot and the English colonists. He also discusses the impact of the conflict on both sides, including the destruction of the Pequot tribe and the consolidation of English power in Connecticut. Overall, ""History of the Pequot War"" is a comprehensive and detailed account of an important event in American history. It provides a valuable perspective on the conflict from both sides and sheds light on the complex relationships between Native American tribes and English colonists in the early years of American settlement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
