Books by Philip Ranlet

In this book Philip Ranlet restores the truth of Cadwallader Colden's maligned career after more than two centuries of misrepresentations. Based upon extensive research from eighteenth century sources this book also serves as a complete re-evaluation of New York during this time.

Enemies of the Bay Colony offers a narrative history of Puritan New England from its beginnings through the Great Awakening of the mid-18th Century. This newly expanded and revised edition features two new chapters on the Salem Witchcraft frenzy of 1692 and an account of the Pequot War and the death of Narragansett sachem, Miantonomo. In addition to the two new chapters, Enemies of the Bay Colony has been updated to include recent scholarship.
