Summary
| Description |
English: Description according to the metadata delivered with the image by the John Carter Brown Library: Portrait of King Philip or Metacom, a native American, holding a gun or musket. In the background native Americans smoke a pipe. Cultural artifacts include beaded wampum belt, powder horn, feathered headdress, knife, and moccasins. Further notes in the metatdata read: Benjamin Church, 1639-1718, led English troops against the native population during King Philip’s War, which ended when Church captured King Philip (or Metacom) who was chief of the Wampanoag. Samuel Gardner Drake, one of the first antiquarian booksellers in North America and an American Indian historian, reprinted Church’s history in 1825. It should further be noted, that the author/editor of the original edition of 1716(?) was not Benjamin Church himself but his son Thomas Church. |
