Two classic works on King Philip’s War, now paired for focused study and easy reference.
This edition presents Increase Mather’s Brief History of the War alongside accompanying material from a later Magnalia account, with a thoughtful editor’s Preface and explanations. It explains why a single, complete history was never published and how the two sources complement each other for readers seeking context and detail.
Readers will encounter both accounts side by side, with notes rewritten to reflect what modern readers have learned about this period. The book helps you compare sources, read them in sequence, and understand the authors’ perspectives and methods.
Ideal for readers of early American history, students, and anyone exploring the complexities of King Philip’s War and its record in colonial sources.
