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.

Rather, the story is much more complicated-and much more interesting. It is a tale of two divided cultures, but also of a host of individuals, groups, colonies, and nations, all of whom used the struggle between and within Indian and English communities to promote their own authority.\u003cbr\u003e As power within New England shifted, Indians appealed outside the region-to other Indian nations, competing European colonies, and the English crown itself-for aid in resisting the overbearing authority of such rapidly expanding societies as the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Thus Indians were at the center-and not always on the losing end-of a contest for authority that spanned the Atlantic world. Beginning soon after the English settled in Plymouth, the power struggle would eventually spawn a devastating conflict-King Philip's War-and draw the intervention of the crown, resulting in a dramatic loss of authority for both Indians and colonists by century's end.\u003cbr\u003e Through exhaustive research, Jenny Hale Pulsipher has rewritten the accepted history of the Indian-English relationship in colonial New England, revealing it to be much more complex and nuanced than previously supposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote on the Text\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Models of Authority\u003cbr\u003e Massachusetts Under Fire\u003cbr\u003e Years of Uncertainty\u003cbr\u003e Allies Fall Away\u003cbr\u003e The \"Narragansett War\"\u003cbr\u003e A Perilous Middle Ground\u003cbr\u003e Massachusetts's Authority Undermined\u003cbr\u003e A Crisis of Spirit\u003cbr\u003e Massachusetts Fights Alone\u003cbr\u003e Surrendering Authority\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue\u003cbr\u003e League of Peace Between Massasoit and Plymouth\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555679858968,"sku":"9780812219081","price":25.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/subjects-unto-the-same-king-indians-english-and-the-contest-for-authority-in-colonial-new-england-paperback-softback-9780812219081","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
