A Rabble In Arms
Challenges traditional interpretations of who was called to serve during King Philip's War. This book demonstrates that Essex County's upstanding citizens, such as yeoman farmers, church members, and family heads, were often spared from impressments, while the 'rabble' - criminals, drunkards, the poor - were forced to join active fighting units.
