About this book
This book offers the first full-scale analysis of the Pequot War (1636-37) a pivotal event in New England colonial history. Through an innovative rereading of the Puritan sources Alfred A. Cave refutes claims that settlers acted defensively to counter a Pequot conspiracy to exterminate Europeans. Drawing on archaeological linguistic and anthropological evidences to trace the evolution of the conflict he sheds new light on the motivations of the Pequots and their Indian allies. He also provides a reappraisal of the interaction of ideology and self- interest as motivating factors in the Puritan attack on the Pequots.
