plunder

"One of the Indians that came from Medfield fight, had brought some plunder, came to me, and asked me, if I would have a Bible, he had got one in his basket."

P.39 Elements of Literature

The book said plunder means goods seized, especially during wartime. I don't understand what that means but I think it means to rob or take someone else's possession by force.
