Northeast Coast Campaign (1675) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Northeast Coast Campaign (1675)
The Northeast Coast Campaign (1675) happened during the First Abenaki War (the northern theatre of King Philips War) and involved the Wabanaki Confederacy raiding English settlements along the New England/ Acadia border in present-day Maine. They killed eighty colonists and burned many farms, blunting the tide of English expansion.〔Mandell, p. 81〕 Settlers deserted community after community, leaving only the settlements south of the Saco River to maintain an Anglo presence in the region.〔(Churchill, p. 258)〕 Historian Georges Cerbelaud Salagnac writes, that Castine and the Abanaki “displayed consummate skill at it, holding in check at every point, from the Penobscot River to Salmon Falls, N.H., and even beyond, 700 regular troops, and even inflicting humiliating defeats upon them.”〔(Canadian Biography - Baron of St. Castine )〕 == Historical context == Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin was sent from Quebec at the outset of the war with the Governors orders to organize all the natives "throughout the whole colony of Acadia to adopt the interests of the king of France.”〔(Canadian Biography - Baron of St. Castine ) citing the “Mémoire des services rendus par les sieurs de Saint-Castin, père et fils, dans le pays de Canada en la Nouvelle-France,” drawn up in 1720 by Jean-Vincent’s son, Bernard-ANSELME〕 After Saint-Castin had settled among the Abenakis, King Philip (Pometacom) and his warriors ravaged New England in 1675. Historian Georges Salagnac writes that, “One may reasonably suppose that Saint-Castin began to exercise his talents as a military counsellor on the occasion of this war.”〔(Canadian Biography - Baron of St. Castine )〕 The people of Boston thought Castine was influencing the Wabanaki strategy and supplying them with superior equipment.
