Note 618 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

[King Philip’s War, which was but the beginning of a long series of wars which devastated the frontiers, may be said properly to end with the treaty of Casco, April 12, 1678, which is preserved in the Massachusetts Archives; though a continuation of hostilities intervened till the treaty of Portsmouth, Sept. 8, 1685. Cf. Belknap’s New Hampshire, p. 348.—Ed.]
