tells the story that began when 300 French and Native allies invaded the English settlement of Deerfield, MA. They captured 112 Deerfield men, women, and children, whom they marched 300 miles to Canada. A number died or were killed on route; most were ransomed. Later, over one-third chose to remain among their captors. Events are examined from 5 perspectives: the Mohawk, Abenaki, Huron, French, and English. More than 100 artifacts, 13 interactive maps, and 100 illustrations are included. (Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association (PVMA), Multiple Agencies)
