Historic Scenes in Old New England

Miff > iffl ■ llSmu - Scene of The Battle at Bloody Brook in Deerfield. Mass.

In passing through South Deerfield, Mass., autoists cross the historic old stream called Bloody Brook a name derived from the freightful massacre by Indians which occurred there on the 18th of September 1675. In those days King Philip, sachem of the Pokanoket tribe of Indians, was on the warpath. He' had so terrified the settlers of the Connecticut River Valley that the northernmost towns of Northfield and Deerfield were ordered abandoned. % • In abandoning Deerfield the settlers had left large stores of newlv harvested grain, and it was in quest of these needed stores that Captain Lathrop, with a picked troop of eighty men, proceeded to Deerfield from I the town of Hadley, twenty miles south. The grain had been successfully procured and the party was some I six miles out of the settlement of Deerfield when it prepared to ford a stream. The stream wis bordered by thick woods, and tradition relates that the men imprudently placed their weapons in the wagons and scatbered to gather the wild grapes which abounded. Thus disarmed, they were quickly and completely overwhelmed by the hordes of Indians estimated at 700 strong, by whom they had been ambushed. Of the eighty or more men in Captain Lathrop's command not more than eight escaped'alive. Two other scouting squads of Englishmen which were in the vicinity hurried to the scene upon 'hearing battle, but could do nothing except drive the Indians away so that the bodies of their comrades might be decently buried. A monument now marks the scene of this horrible massacre, and the 6tream where the disaster occurred ts known to this dav as Bloody Brook

Historic Scenes in Cld New England

COLD HADLEY where a. re8'cide 01 Charles I appeared "from nowhere "and saved the panic stricken settlers Old Hadley, a beautiful New England town, situated upon the east bank of the Connecticut River some1 t**nty m''e9 north of Springfield, Maas., was a center of great activity durihg th£ stirring days of King i Philip's Indian wars. On Sept. 1, 1675, while at worship in the village meeting house, the inhabitants of Ola ; Hadley were surprised by an attack uDon their settlement by a horde of Indians. I Abandoning worship, they seized their arms and rushed out to defend their homes, but the suddenness of the attack found them utterly demoralized. When the confusion was at its height there suddenly appeared in their midst an unknown man of grave and elderly bearing, who at once took command of the situation issued orders, rallied the defenders and in short order routed the redskins from the town. Then, as sud-V denly as he had appeared, did the stranger effect his removal from the scene, and his identity for many vearsremained a comparative mystery. It was leter established that the deliverer of Hadley was General William Goffe, one of the three living regicides of Charles I. and for whose head a liberal bounty was offered^ After years of pursuit from place tof lace he found safe hiding under the hospitable roof of Pastor John Russel of the Old Hadley congregation, t is believed that after hie spectacular deliverance of the Hadley settlers be remained still undiscovered i»i. the Ru6sel household until his death some five years later. A beautiful state road winding up the Connecticut r alley takes thousands of autoists each year directlw by the spot wbftre General Goffe rallied the inhabitants of Old Hedlev to the defense of their homes.
