PREFATORY NOTE. 



T was not anticipated, when the First Part 

 of these " Entertaining Passages " was 

 issued, in the summer of 1865, that so long 

 a period would elapse before the publication 



of the Second Part, relating to the later Eastern Expedi- 

 tions. But various labors and engagements have neces- 

 sarily delayed the progress and completion of the work, 

 both of editing and printing, until the present time. It is 

 hoped that the kind welcome accorded to the portion 

 relating to Philip's War may not be withheld from this 

 completing glance at the later Indian warfare, which 

 engaged the prowess, if it did not materially augment 

 the fame, of the brave man from whose later reminis- 

 cences the story was set down. 



The endeavor has been constantly in mind to make this 

 a fit companion volume for the First Part, — in careful- 

 ness and abundance of illustration, in exact accuracy of 

 reprint, and in all general features.
