King Philipmakers of History

Written in the mid-19th century by John S. C. Abbott, 'King Philipmakers of History' provides a historical account of King Philip, or Metacom, and his pivotal role in King Philip's War (1675-1676) between Native Americans and English settlers in New England. The narrative begins with the arrival of the Mayflower and details the complex interactions, agreements, and conflicts that arose as the Pilgrims established their settlements. Abbott's work is notable for its exploration of the life and legacy of King Philip, shedding light on the struggles faced by Indigenous tribes during the colonial period.
