Governor Josiah Winslow Leads Militia Against Narragansett Tribe

On November 2, Plymouth Colony governor Josiah Winslow led a combined force of colonial militia against the Narragansett tribe. The Narragansetts had not yet been directly involved in the war, but they had sheltered many of the Wampanoag's women and children and several of their men had reportedly been seen in several Indian raiding parties. The tribe was not trusted by the colonists. As the colonial force assembled and marched around Rhode Island, they found and burned several Indian towns that had been abandoned by the Narragansett, who had retreated to a massive fort in a swamp.
