 Benjamin Church wrote several accounts of King Philip 's War , including Entertaining Passages Relating to Philip 's War , which remained popular throughout the 18th century . An edition of the work was illustrated by Paul Revere in 1772 . The Sovereignty and Goodness of God provides an account of King Philip 's War from the perspective of Mary Rowlandson , an Englishwoman who was captured and spent some time in the company of Native Americans during the war . Later works , such as " The Courtship of Miles Standish " by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , have provided a romantic and partially fictionalized account of life in Plymouth Colony .
