Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Four comprehensive and essential accounts of an early conflict in Colonial American historyLovewell's War (1722-25)-also known as Dummer's War or Father Rale's War-was, in reality, a series of conflicts fought between New England settlers and the Wabanaki Confederacy in present-day Maine and New Hampshire. It was primarily fought over land disputes and the inexorable impingement of expanding English settlements on indigenous Indian territory. The war is most famous for its final major engagement, The Battle of Pequawket or Lovewell's Fight (May 1725). Captain John Lovewell led a private company of 'scalp hunters' seeking bounties offered by the colonial government. Nearby Saco Pond (now Lovewell Pond) in Maine, Lovewell's group was ambushed by the Abenaki Indians, led by Chief Paugus. Lovewell and Paugus were both killed during the day-long engagement. Only about 20 of Lovewell's 46 men survived. Though a tactical draw, it forced the Abenaki to abandon their village and retreat to Canada, effectively ending major hostilities in the region. This Leonaur edition comprehensively considers this short war from several perspectives, providing a thorough overview for any student of the subject.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - King William's War, (1688-1697) was a 17th century American colonial-era, border conflict fought in Acadia and New England. It was colloquially named after one of the principal antagonist leaders, Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin, a French military officer who married a woman of the Penobscot Native-American Indian Nation. In 1688, The authoritarian colonial Governor of New England, Edmund Andros raided Saint-Castin's trading estate at Pentagouet (modern-day Castine, Maine) in his absence, comprehensively plundering it. This violent act naturally raised Saint-Castin's anger, so when in the following year, the 'Nine Years War', broke out in Europe a political motivation was created which endorsed this personal grudge. The French, whose expansionist policies had started the war in Europe, encouraged Saint-Castin to set lose his indigenous allies among the Wabanaki Confederacy upon the borders of the English settlements. Saint-Castin, in concert with the Penobscot Chief, Madockawando instituted savage guerilla assaults upon against English outposts along the Maine frontier.Working alongside French commander Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, Saint-Castin's forces successfully besieged and destroyed the heavily fortified English stronghold of Fort Pemaquid. Saint-Castin became a wanted man with several attempts made to apprehend him. The Treaty of Ryswick ended all hostilities in a stalemate, boundaries were re-established but long held animosities remained.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.…
