  • (King Philip's War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

I keep it in encrypted form on my personal computer where only I can get at it. My password is pAtTypUkE. I don't want it to be published or known while I'm alive, but kept only for my private masturbation fantasies.

In case anybody cracks it, beware of the curse of Tutankhamen and respect its privacy. In the extremely unlikely event that somebody does crack it and publish it, I'm warning you: at least have the human decency to obliterate my name and label it as fiction. I make millions a year and can hire detectives and sue your ass off can't I? Labelled as fiction about a fictional character, I have plausible deniability and so do you. Humor me, okay? Note from the Editor. This document was indeed hacked and then mutilated as it circulated furiously around the Howard fan sites on the Web, with many Billy Shakespeares making anonymous additions.

  • The Narragansett Planters 49
    1933.] The Narragansett Planters 49 THE NARRAGANSETT PLANTERS BY WILLIAM DAVIS MILLER HE history and the tradition of the "Narra- T gansett Planters," that unusual group of stock and dairy farmers of southern Rhode Island, lie scattered throughout the documents and records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and in the subse- quent state and county histories and in family genealo- gies, the brevity and inadequacy of the first being supplemented by the glowing details of the latter, in which imaginative effort and the exaggerative pride of family, it is to be feared, often guided the hand of the chronicler. Edward Channing may be considered as the only historian to have made a separate study of this community, and it is unfortunate that his monograph. The Narragansett Planters,^ A Study in Causes, can be accepted as but an introduction to the subject. It is interesting to note that Channing, believing as had so many others, that the unusual social and economic life of the Planters had been lived more in the minds of their descendants than in reality, intended by his monograph to expose the supposed myth and to demolish the fact that they had "existed in any real sense. "^ Although he came to scoff, he remained to acknowledge their existence, and to concede, albeit with certain reservations, that the * * Narragansett Society was unlike that of the rest of New England." 'Piiblinhed as Number Three of the Fourth Scries in the John» Hopkini Umtertitj/ Studies 111 Hittirieal and Political Science, Baltimore, 1886.

  • PECKHAM FAMILY of NEWPORT and WESTERLY, R
    GENFA.LOGY of ONE BRANCH OF THE PECKHAM FAMILY of NEWPORT AND WESTERLY, R. I. and its ALLIED FAMILIES Compiled in Affectionate Memory of :Emma Frances 7 (Peckham) Bentley by Her Sons William Perry and John Earle Bentley Documentary Evidence by :Emilie Sa.rter, Genealogist Boston, Mass. FOREWORD Genealogies are commonly written for sentimen­ tal reasons, and if sentiment were to prevail the name of' this booklet would be "Mother's Ancestors". As a practical matter, however, the title of a gene­ alogy should give some clue to its contents, there­ fore, I have decided that the title should be Genealogy of One Branch of' the Peckham Family of Newport and Westerly, R. I. and its Allied Families In the early part of the yea:r 1949 I happened to be looking through a Bible which had belonged to my mother, Emma Frances7 {Peckham) Bentley, and there found a :faded piece of writing paper upon which she had written "Mother 's Ancestors John A. Saunders Catherine Maxson John Maxson Sarah Sbrieve Daniel Shrieve Mary Green" She referred, of course, to the ancestors of' her own mother, my grandmother, Mary Ann6 (Saunders) (Saun­ ders) Peckham. This little memorandum made by my mother, no doubt for my brother, Fred Harold8 Bent­ ley, who worked out our Bentley lineage, was often on my mind. During the month of August, 1949, my wife and I spent our vacation at Shelter Harbor, a summer re- · sort on the Rhode Island shore, in the town of West­ erly, which was the home of' many of' my ancestors.

The Editor of the Souvenir has had occasion to remark in previous editions that each Legislature has some peculiar characteristic to distinguish it from all others It fell to the lot of the Legislature of 1898, for the first time in over 30 years, or the usuil span of a generation, to make war preparations and to discuss war measures. The breaking out of the war with Spain found our Legislature rjady to do its part promptly and patriotically. With absolute unanimity and no more delay than was necessary for the making of the proper motions and the sig- nature of the bill by Governor Wolcott, the whole transaction occupying less than half an hour, the war appropriation of half a million dollars was voted ; and in the Senate the enactment of the measure was greeted with three cheers. No partisan discussion but patriotic action marked every measure of similar import. But this Souvenir is not intended as a record of what was done.
