Book excerpt: King William's War (1689-1697) was the first in a series of bloody conflicts known collectively as the French and Indian Wars in which the two great super powers, England and France, with their Indian allies vied for control of North America.Best known for his exploits in the earlier King Philip's War (1675-1676), Benjamin Church and his English and Indian soldiers brought an end to that war by hunting down and killing Philip and capturing the Wampanoag field commander Anawan.Although he returned to civilian life, Church was called back to service-time and time again. Over the latter part of the 17th century and into the 18th Church led five expeditions against the French and Indians into northern New England and New France.Drawing from numerous sources, including Church's memoirs, Edward Lodi recounts the story of those expeditions, for which Church with his guerrilla tactics and reliance on Indian soldiers became famous as the forefather of the Rangers.The scope of King William's War was immense. Lodi includes a Chronology listing dozens of events: naval battles, the raid on Schenectady, Sir William Phips's capture of Montreal and his fiasco at Quebec, massacres in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Acadia; and a detailed Who's Who of roughly 150 individuals (French, English, Indian, Dutch, including women and children) such as Hannah Dustan, Kancamagus, Count Frontenac, Baron Castine, Madockawando, Peter Schuyler, Sarah Gerrish.with illustrations

Book King William s War

  • Author : Michael G. Laramie
  • Publisher : Westholme Publishing
  • Release : 2017
  • ISBN : 9781594162886
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book King William s War written by Michael G. Laramie and published by Westholme Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King William's War encompassed several proxy wars being fought by the English and the French through their native allies: the Beaver Wars, a long running feud between the Iroquois Confederacy, New France, and New France's native allies over control of the lucrative fur trade, and the second Wabanaki War between New England colonists and the pro-French Wabanaki of Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. These two conflicts officially became one with the arrival of news of a declaration of war between France and England in 1689. The next nine years saw coordinated attacks, including French assaults on Schenectady, New York, and Massachusetts, and English attacks around Montreal and on Nova Scotia. The war ended diplomatically, but started again five years later in Queen Anne's War. A riveting history full of memorable characters and events, and supported by extensive primary source material, King William's War: The First Contest for North America, 1689-1697 by Michael G. Laramie is the first book-length treatment of a war that proved crucial to the future of North America.

Book The Navy and Anglo Scottish Union  1603 1707

Download or read book The Navy and Anglo Scottish Union 1603 1707 written by Colin Helling and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2022 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the union of England and Scotland by weaving the navy into a political narrative of events between the regal union in 1603 and the parliamentary union in 1707.This book examines the union of England and Scotland by weaving the navy into a political narrative of events between the regal union in 1603 and the parliamentary union in 1707. For most of the century the Scottish crown had no separate naval force which made the Stuart monarchs' navy, seen by them as a personal not a state force, unusual in being an institution which had a relationship with both kingdoms. This did not necessarily make the navy a shared organisation, as it continued to be financed from and based in England and was predominantly English. Nevertheless, the navy is an unusually good prism through which the nature of the regal union can be interrogated as English commanded ships interacted with Scottish authorities, and as Scots looked to the navy for protection from foreign invaders, such as the Dutch in the Forth in 1667, and for Scottish merchant ships trading with the Baltic and elsewhere. These interactions were often harmonious, but there were also many instances of tensions, particularly in the 1690s. The book illustrates both the ambiguous relationship between England and Scotland in the seventeenth century and also the navy's under-appreciated role in creating the political union of Britain.r Scottish merchant ships trading with the Baltic and elsewhere.
