Review:
"Successfully integrating British Atlantic and ethnohistoric perspectives, Pulsipher demonstrates Indians' intimate involvement in seventeenth-century colonial power struggles that spanned the Atlantic. Arguing that neither natives nor settlers can be treated as monoliths whether internally or in their dealings with one another, the author breaks significant new ground on the road to integrating native and settler experiences into a larger early America. Pulsipher's book suggests a fruitful reformulation of colonial New England, asserting a dynamic sense of contingency and evoking the rich texture of cross-cultural contact as lived by those of past times and places."--William and Mary Quarterly "Essential... This will become the book about King Philip's War in New England and its larger political significance in early American history."--Choice "Jenny Hale Pulsipher's Subjects unto the Same King offers a new and important analysis of a crucial moment in American history. But rather than repeat an old story, Pulsipher here has told a new one, emphasizing that disputes hinged on questions of authority--who possessed it, who wanted it, who got it, and what they did with it. There are keen insights in almost every chapter, and the research is excellent. Pulsipher knows the existing documentary literature perhaps better than anyone who has worked on this subject."--Peter C.
