You mention that Benjamin Church served in the French and Indian War, and died in 1718. The French and Indian War was 1754-63, and you may be thinking of Rogers Rangers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085791801642214284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405505068130748711.post-46725197246004544482015-08-22T13:15:27.637-04:002015-08-22T13:15:27.637-04:00This period is one of the most interesting of our ...This period is one of the most interesting of our history.

His material showing the differences in Wampanoag combat and traditional colonial combat tactics was great. Thanks for the suggestion of the new source. I generally like writing about the King Philip's War, so I hope I get to use it. I should be posting some new material this month. Again, thanks for reading.

Good reading for anyone wanting to learn about this colonial war. It is not entirely factual and lots are embellished such as scaling a steep cliff at Annawons Rock to get to Annawons Camp. I think most scholars would agree that "The Flintlock And The Tomahawk by Douglas Edward Leach is THE GO TO BOOK for a historical and mostly unbiased account of King Philips War from start to end...Love your post's and this site!

It was discovered in a small British museum in the 1980s but that the negotiations fell through. Any ideas? confirmation?<br /><br />It is it just money, I may able to help; I had two great x11 uncles in that war, one of whom made a killing shot at half a mile by sheet fluke.<br /><br />NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
