Description: "The documents here published appeared originally in the [New England Historic and Genealogical] Register.  They relate to the Indian war in Maine, which is often called 'Dummer's War' from the fact that Lieutenant - Governor William Dummer was commander-in-chief during the struggle.  From Dummer, Captain Westbrook received his commission as Colonel.  It is chiefly the orders and letters of the Lieutenant - Governor, and reports from the Colonel, that fill this volume.  To these are added the muster-rolls of thirty six companies and eight armed vessels.  
"Mr. Trask's notes possess the great value to be expected from one of his ability and experience as a genealogist and historian.  The portrait is that of William Dummer.  Typography and binding are fine, and there are indexes of persons and places."
