  • (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.

  • Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680
    Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680 MARK VALERI n March 1680 Boston merchant John Hull wrote a scathing letter to the Ipswich preacher William Hubbard. Hubbard I owed him £347, which was long overdue. Hull recounted how he had accepted a bill of exchange (a promissory note) ftom him as a matter of personal kindness. Sympathetic to his needs, Hull had offered to abate much of the interest due on the bill, yet Hubbard still had sent nothing. 'I have patiently and a long time waited,' Hull reminded him, 'in hopes that you would have sent me some part of the money which I, in such a ftiendly manner, parted with to supply your necessities.' Hull then turned to his accounts. He had lost some £100 in potential profits from the money that Hubbard owed. The debt rose with each passing week.' A prominent citizen, militia officer, deputy to the General Court, and affluent merchant, Hull often cajoled and lectured his debtors (who were many), moralized at and shamed them, but never had he done what he now threatened to do to Hubbard: take him to court. 'If you make no great matter of it,' he warned I. John Hull to William Hubbard, March 5, 1680, in 'The Diaries of John Hull,' with appendices and letters, annotated by Samuel Jennison, Transactions of the American Anti- quarian Society, II vols.

    A Brief History of Native Americans in Essex, Connecticut by Verena Harfst, Essex Table of Contents Special Thanks and an Appeal to the Community 3 - 4 Introduction 5 The Paleo-Indian Period 6 - 7 The Archaic Period 7 - 10 The Woodland Period 11 – 12 Algonquians Settle Connecticut 12 - 14 Thousands of Years of Native American Presence in Essex 15 - 19 Native American Life in the Essex Area Shortly Before European Arrival 19 - 23 Arrival of the Dutch and the English 23 - 25 Conflict and Defeat 25 - 28 The Fate of the Nihantic 28 - 31 Postscript 31 Footnotes 31 - 37 2 Special Thanks and an Appeal to the Community This article contributes to an ongoing project of the Essex Historical Society (EHS) and the Essex Land Trust to celebrate the history of the Falls River in south central Connecticut. This modest but lovely watercourse connects the three communities comprising the Town of Essex, wending its way through Ivoryton, Centerbrook and Essex Village, where it flows into North Cove and ultimately the main channel of the Connecticut River a few miles above Long Island Sound. Coined “Follow the Falls”, the project is being conducted largely by volunteers devoted to their beautiful town and committed to helping the Essex Historical Society and the Essex Land Trust achieve their missions. This article by a local resident focuses on the history of the Indigenous People of Essex. The article is based on interviews the author conducted with a number of archaeologists and historians as well as reviews of written materials readily accessible on the history of Native Americans in New England.
