He captured and plundered Port-Royal in Acadia, Now Nova Scotia, and led an unsuccessful expedition against Quebec in 1690. He became the first royal governor of Massachusetts in 1692, put an end to the Salem witchcraft trials, and negotiated a treaty with the native Wabanaki." "This biography presents a well-rounded picture of Phips, one that looks at all phases of his colourful career. He was an unusual figure among colonial governors, and his very uniqueness, as well as his difficulties as governor, help us to understand the politics and society of New England during his era. Helped and hindered by his obscure origins, Phips struggled for advancement, and his struggle illustrates the fluid nature of the British Empire in the late seventeenth century."--Jacket. 606 $aGovernors$zMassachusetts$vBiography 607 $aMassachusetts$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGovernors 676 $a974.4/02/092 700 $aBaker$b Emerson W.$01477676 702 $aReid$b John G.$f1948- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790104303321 996 $aThe New England knight$93697700 997 $aUNINA
