Book Review

Subjects unto the Same King: Indians, English, and the Contest for Authority in Colonial New England. By Jenny Hale Pulsipher. (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005. xii, 361 pp. $35.00, ISBN 0-8122-3876-1.)

In April 1676, the English captured the Narragansett sachem Canonchet. It was a turning point in King Philip's War. Canonchet refused to talk, saying only "that he was born a Prince, and if Princes came to speak with him, he would answer them. But none of those present being Princes, he thought himself obliged in honor to hold his Tongue" (p. 202). Informed that he was to be executed, he asked to die at the hands of Uncas, an English ally and Mohegan sachem he acknowledged as "his fellow Prince" (ibid.). The English described Canonchet as proud and insolent and treated him as a traitor: his body was drawn and quartered. As Canonchet's capture and execution illustrate, and as Jenny Hale Pulsipher's book impressively explains, Indians and English in seventeenth-century New England clashed over issues of sovereignty as well as over land and culture.
