The famous Kit Carson of the West was no bolder. King Phillip's War lasted a year and two months, from June of 1675, into August of 1676. Captain Church soon became the Indians' most hardy foeman. He was constantly trailing the King Phillip warriors to their "kenneling places," routing them out and killing them, or taking prisoners, whom he spared for scouts.
"Old Annawan is out," he said. "He is among the last of King Phillip's men. I have reliable word that he is kenneling in Squannaconk and doing much damage. You have been poorly paid, but I want hands to go with me to hunt him." "We will go with you wherever you please to take us, as long as there is an Indian left in the woods," they answered. Which made him very glad.
But right soon a message reached him, from Rehoboth, of southern Massachusetts north of Rhode Island, that Head Captain Annawan was "kenneling" in Squannaconk Swamp, and plundering the farms outside. Being a true citizen, and knowing that the settlers looked to him for aid, Captain Church, instead of resting up, sought his faithful lieutenant, Jabez Howland, and others of his former company.
Annawan's feet, and his son's head, opposite, almost touched the gun butts. It was a snug, well-protected kenneling place, surrounded by the swamp. The face of the rock pile was so steep that there was no way of getting down except by holding to the shrubs and small trees. That did not look very promising. So Captain Church crept back to ask the old man guide if there was not some other trail.
