Excerpt from Indian Battles: With Incidents in the Early History of New England IT has been the growing conviction of the author of these pages, that there is much in the early his tory of New England suited to effect the happiest results that it contains numerous incidents highly, adapted to exhibit God in a most glorious and de lightful view; to give us admiring thoughts of his wisdom, benevolence, and faithfulness; to inflame the love, strengthen the faith, and awaken the gratitude of his people; to interest and instruct the mind, and to promote morality and religion in the community. With this impression, it seemed exceedingly de sirable that these incidents should be extensively r.ead But hitherto they have been confined to a few rare works, so that, to most persons, they have been inaccessible, and to a great degree unknown. The design of this volume is, to embody these incidents, and present them to the reader in one view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
