Bag om Phips' Amphibious Assault on Canada - 1690

This book comprises a narrative history of the origins and conduct of an attack on Canada in 1690 by a New England fleet under the command of Sir William Phips, as well as a treatise on the Puritan concept of their charter government as a sovereign power. It treats the history of the Phips' Canada Expedition within the context of the worldview and religious frame of mind of the Massachusetts Puritans, and their hopes and fears, at a time when New England was suffering from devastating attacks by the French and their Indian allies, and undergoing a political upheaval with the Crown and Colony at odds over 'where sovereignty lay'.
