Born of obscure origins in 1651, William Phips became a sea captain out of Boston, an adventurer in search of Spanish treasure in the Caribbean. After years of privateering, he became the first royal governor of Massachusetts in 1692. This biography presents a well-rounded picture of Phips. As an unusual figure among colonial governors, his uniqueness helps us to understand the politics and society of New England during his era. 20 illustrations.
