Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of
Manhunt (now an Apple TV series) and in the
tradition of Empire of the Summer Moon comes
8220avivid account8221(The Wall Street
Journal) of a forgotten chapter in American
history the deadly confrontation between natives
and colonists in Massachusetts in 1704 and the
tragic saga that unfolded.Once it was one of the
most infamous events in early American history.
Today, it has been nearly forgotten. In an
obscure, two-hundred-year-old museum in a little
town in western Massachusetts there stands what
once was the most revered relic from the history
of early New England the massive,
tomahawk-scarred door that came to symbolize the
notorious Deerfield Massacre of 1704. This
impregnable barricade8212knwn to early
Americans as 8220ThOld Indian
Door82218212constructed from double-thick
planks of Massachusetts oak and studded with
hand-wrought iron nails to repel the tomahawk
blades wielded by several attacking Native
tribes, is the sole surviving artifact from one
of the most dramatic moments in colonial American
history In the leap year of 1704, on the cold,
snowy night of February 29, hundreds of Indians
and their French allies swept down on an
isolated frontier outpost to slaughter or capture
its inhabitants. The sacking of Deerfield led to
one of the greatest sagas of survival, sacrifice,
family, and faith ever told in North America.
One hundred and twelve survivors, including their
fearless minister, the Reverend John
Williams, were captured and forced to march three
hundred miles north into enemy territory
in Canada. Any captive who faltered or became too
weak to continue the
journey8212inluding Williams8217sown
wife8212fel under the tomahawk or war
7
club. Survivors of the march willed themselves to
live and endured captivity. Ransomed by the royal
governor of Massachusetts, the captives later
returned home to Deerfield, rebuilt their town
and, for the rest of their lives, told the
incredible tale. The memoir of Rev. Williams, The
Redeemed Captive, published soon after his
liberation, became one of the first bestselling
books in American history and remains a literary
classic. The Old Indian Door is a touchstone that
conjures up one of the most dramatic and
inspiring stories of colonial America. Now, in
this 8220imersive and memorable book and with
his gifts of great storytelling and penetrating
insight, James Swanson has given us a compelling
account of an unjustly forgotten episode in
American history8221(Jon Meacham,
Pulitzer Prize8211wining author of And There
Was Light).
