If you are interested in the history of New England ...By KateIf you are interested in the history of New England then this volume should be required reading. Thoroughly researched and skillfully written by the person who is considered the leading authority on the Pequot War.12 of 13 people found the following review helpful. A Thorough Survey of the Pequot WarBy W. O. StarkThis is by far the most thorough historical survey I've ever read on all the events leading up to; and including; the Pequot War (1636-1637). Drawing from all of the numerous sources available on this period in early Colonial America's history; Mr. Cave has done a magnificent job leaving nothing out.I would highly recommend "The Pequot War" to anyone who is interested in learning more about the beginnings of Connecticut River Valley settlements; the expansion and political competitions between each of the early colonies; as well as those of their neighbors (the Dutch of New Netherland and the Native Americans).Truly eye-opening reading material that will kept you interested from the Introduction to the Index. Chapter 3 ("Pequots and Puritans: The Origins of the Conflict") alone; is well worth the price of this book. A "must have" for any serious bibliomania enthusiast with a library collection on early Colonial American History.
