Subjects unto the Same King: Indians, English, and the Contest for Authority in Colonial New England. By Jenny Hale Pulsipher. Early American Studies. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005. 376 pages. $35.00 (cloth).

The novelty of this book is reflected in the inadequacy of its Library of Congress cataloging as "Indians of North America—New England—Government." Jenny Hale Pulsipher's new study of early native-settler relations in New England is actually concerned with much more. It offers an original and exciting contribution to a large and growing body of scholarship. Successfully integrating British Atlantic and ethnohistoric perspectives, Pulsipher demonstrates Indians' intimate involvement in seventeenth-century colonial power struggles that spanned the Atlantic. Arguing that neither natives nor settlers can be treated as monoliths, whether internally or in their dealings with one another, the author breaks significant new ground on the road to integrating native and settler experiences into a larger early America. Pulsipher's book suggests a fruitful reformulation of colonial New England, asserting a dynamic sense of contingency, and evoking the rich texture of cross-cultural contact as lived by those of past times and places.
