King Philip. JNIetacom, second son of 

 Massasoit, sachem of the Wampanoag, 

 who attained that office himself through 

 the death of his father and elder brother 

 in 1661-62, and to the English was better 

 known as Philip of Pokanoket, or King 

 Philip. He was the most remarkable of all 

 the Indians of New England. For 9 years 

 after his elevation to the chieftaincy, al- 

 though accused o*^ slotting against the 



colonists, he seems to have devoted his 

 energies to observation and preparation 

 rather than to overt actions of a warlike 

 nature. He even acknowledged himself 

 the king's subject. But war with the Eng- 

 lish was inevitable, and the struggle called 

 King Philip's war (1675-76) broke out, 

 resulting in the practical extermination of 

 the Indians after they had inflicted great 

 losses upon the whites. The ability of 

 King Philip is seen in the plans he made 

 before the war began, the confederacy he 

 formed, and the havoc he wrought among 

 the white settlements. Of 90 towns, 52 

 were attacked and 12 were completely de- 

 stroyed. The bravery of the Indians was 

 in man 5^ cases remarkalile. Only treach- 

 ery among the natives in all probability 



KING PHI-IP. (after Church, from an Old Engraving) 



saved the colonists from extinction. In 

 the decisive battle, a night attack, at a 

 swamp fortress in Rhode Island, Aug. 12, 

 1676, the last force of the Indians was 

 defeated with great slaughter. King Philip 

 himself being among the slain. H is body 

 was subjected to the indignities usual at 

 tliat time, and his head is said to have 

 been exposed at Plymouth for 20 years. 

 His wife and little son were sold as slaves 

 in the West Indies. Widely divergent 

 estimates of King Philip's character and 

 achievements have been entertained by 

 different authorities, but he can not l)ut 

 lie considered a man of mai'ked abilities.
