STORIES OF THE HOMESTEADS Broughton--Dickinson--Henry The house on the west side of the street at the "North End" is now the home of Mrs. David Henry. (See Directory of Industries.) Thomas Broughton was the first to make a home on this lot, which extended to the pond in the meadows, still called "Broughton's." In 1693 some "trading Indians" were camping on the hills across the river, and "ab' midnight (on the 6th of June) yy came upon ym & killed Thos. Broughton & his wife & Xdren 3." The frequency of Indian raids did not enhance the value of Deerfield real estate. After Broughton's death, this property was inventoried at 20, but three years later it was sold for "a mare at 3, and new cart wheels at 2. Here dwelt in later days Colonel Thomas Wells Dickinson, who served his country as commissary and soldier in the Revolution. (See Frary House.) From papers left by him, we learn that at a critical time his superior said that unless he, Dickinson, could do "something extraordinary" in securing supplies, Washington would be driven from the field. He did accomplish the "extraordinary," and delivered the needed cattle at Hatfield. Afterwards as lieutenant, he heard read at West Point--perhaps from the Orderly Book now in Memorial Hall--that "Treason of the Blackest Die was Yesterday Discovered," thus being a part of the beginning and seeing the end of Benedict Arnold's career. Wells--Ashley Next south of the Broughton house, in 1693, dwelt the family of Lieutenant Thomas Wells, who until his death, in 1690, was commander of the soldiers here. His commission, signed by Governor Andros, is in Memorial Hall. On the night when the Broughtons were killed, his widow Hepzibah and three children were "knocked on the head and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once it was one of the most famous events in early American history. Today, it has been nearly forgotten. In an obscure, two-hundred-year-old museum in a little village in western Massachusetts, there lies what once was the most revered but now totally forgotten relic from the history of early New England-the massive, tomahawk-scarred door that came to symbolize the notorious Deerfield Massacre. This impregnable barricade-known to early Americans as "The Old Indian Door"-constructed from double-thick planks of Massachusetts oak and studded with hand-wrought iron nails to repel the flailing tomahawk blades of several attacking native tribes, is the sole surviving artifact from the most dramatic moment in colonial American history: Leap Year, February 29, 1704, a cold, snowy night when hundreds of native Americans and their French allies swept down upon an isolated frontier outpost and ruthlessly slaughtered its inhabitants. The sacking of Deerfield led to one of the greatest sagas of adventure, survival, sacrifice, family, honor, and faith ever told in North America. 112 survivors, including their fearless minister, the Reverand John Williams, were captured and led on a 300-mile forced march north, into enemy territory in Canada. Any captive who faltered or became too weak to continue the journey-including Williams's own wife and one of his children-fell under the knife or tomahawk. Survivors of the march willed themselves to live and endured captivity. Ransomed by the King of England's 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, became the first bestselling book in American history and published a few years after his liberation, it 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-and now, finally, this legendary event is brought to vivid life by popular historian James Swanson"--
