Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Good coverage of the Deerfield raid from all perspectivesBy Shirley MillerThis book provides good background details on the motives of people from all sides who were involved in the 1704 Deerfield raid. Those factual details and explanations make it possible for the reader to imagine and almost feel what it must have been like for the people involved; Indian and French; as well as English colonials. Haefeli and Sweeney do a good job of covering the complexity of interaction between the multiple cultures that led to the events and aftermath of the raid. There's a map to illustrate the locations of the houses within and without the village palisades. The book also includes reference charts to give the reader a comparative summary at a glance of the captives and what happened to them and the material damages and losses to the village. I'm a descendant of a few Deerfield residents from that period (John Sheldon; Sr.; his son; Ebenezer; the Stebbins family; through Sheldon's wife; Hannah Stebbins Sheldon; and the Hinsdales and Wrights through intermarriage with Ebenezer's descendants in later generations); so this story has interested me ever since I first encountered it in genealogy research. I'd already read Captors and Captives from our local library; but purchased it in order to have my own copy for reference.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. very good book.
