Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Based on firsthand accounts and extensive research, this biography chronicles the fascinating life of Sir William Phips, colonial governor of Massachusetts during the late 17th century. Born into poverty, Phips first sought his fortune at sea, making several unsuccessful attempts to find shipwrecked treasures. Undeterred, he eventually discovered a Spanish shipwreck off the Bahamas, gaining immense wealth and earning recognition from King James II. In 1689, Phips returned to Massachusetts to lead the provisional government after the overthrow of Governor Andros. The book highlights his role in the French and Indian War, his expedition to capture Port Royal, and the challenges he faced as governor during a time of political and social upheaval. It offers insights into Phips' character, his determination, and his impact on the development of New England during a critical period in American history.
