Raid on Deerfield: The Many Stories of 1704

The interpretation of historical events in colonial America as regards the interactions between Native Americans and colonists has at times been depicted as a series of violent uprisings that resulted in the tragic deaths of numerous settlers. This interactive feature and exhibit offered by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association in Deerfield, Mass., offers a highly nuanced and complex narrative of the well-known raid on the town which took place on February 29, 1704. Within the site, visitors can learn about the various cultures that converged on this region of the New World, the artifacts produced by these different groups, and of course, a very detailed chronology of the raid on Deerfield. Another way to begin learning about the events of the raid is to peruse the various biographical profiles of the people involved (directly or indirectly) in those events. For those with a penchant for cartography and geography, there is also a fine section that offers some maps of how the raid was conducted and a map of settlement patterns in the Connecticut River Valley.
