    THE MANY STORIES of 1704 NARRATIVE SUMMARY Memorial

    THE MANY STORIES OF 1704 NARRATIVE SUMMARY Memorial Hall Museum, in collaboration with Native and French Canadian cultural organizations, proposes to fully develop an exemplary website, focusing on the Deerfield Attack of 1704, which demonstrates a model approach for museums to depict and voice diverse perspectives of history in a way that is engaging and compelling to the general public. This project will demonstrate an innovative use of technology (both website design and programming tools) that can assist museums in meeting their goal to offer multiple historical perspectives. This website will be widely promoted to public audiences, and will be rigorously evaluated to measure whether desired outcomes have been attained. Technological tools, applications, and products created to support this approach will be extensively disseminated to the museum community to facilitate widespread adoption of this model. A prototype of the proposed site can be viewed at http://www.digitalgizmo.com/pvma/1704/prototype/index.html. BACKGROUND The Deerfield Attack of 1704 was a major battle in Queen Anne’s War, one of the series of wars known collectively as the French and Indian Wars that were fought between France and England, with their Native American allies. On February 29, 1704, the bucolic town of Deerfield, Massachusetts of today was, for one brief, three- hour span, the main stage of violent clashing among European colonial empires, diverse Native American nations, and personal ambitions. The French led 48 French and 200 Abenaki, Pennacook, Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk), and Wendat (Huron) soldiers in an attack, resulting in a decisive victory, with the death or capture of more than half of Deerfield’s 291 residents.

Copyright, 1903, by EDWARD DAY COLLINS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PREFACE The charm of romance surrounds the discovery, explo- ration, and settlement of Vermont. The early records of the state offer an exceptional field for the study of social groups placed in altogether primitive and almost isolated conditions ; while in political organization this commonwealth illustrates the development of a truly organic unity. The state was for fourteen years an independent republic, prosperous and well administered. This book is an attempt to portray the conditions of life in this state since its discovery by white men, and to indicate what the essential features of its social, eco- nomic, and political development have been. It is an attempt, furthermore, to do this in such a way as to furnish those who are placed under legal requirement to give instruction in the history of the state an oppor- tunity to comply with the spirit as well as with the letter of the law. Instruction in state history rests on a perfectly sound pedagogical and historical basis. It only demands that the same facilities be afforded in the way of texts, biblio- graphical aids, and statistical data, as are demanded in any other field of historical work, and that the most approved methods of study and teaching be followed.

    GUIDE to the WILLIAMS FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note

    GUIDE TO THE WILLIAMS FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note: The Williams Family Papers, which were received by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from many sources over a long period of time, consist of four types of material: (1) approximately 3500 original manuscripts of the 18th and 19th centuries written by or addressed to various descendants of Robert Williams, "cordwayner" of Norwich, England, who came to this country in 1637 and settled in Roxbury, Mass.; (2) reproductions of similar manuscripts elsewhere in Deerfield or in other locations; (3) transcripts of Williams material; and (4) notes and correspondence of George Sheldon and others that relate to the Williams family. The numbers in superscript that follow many of the names in this guide are those assigned by George Sheldon in the Williams genealogy included in the second volume of his History of Deerfield, Massachusetts (1895). Biographical Notes and Description of Manuscripts: Thomas Williams15, a great-great grandson of Robert1, was born in 1736, studied medicine with Dr. Thomas Williams14 in Deerfield, and then settled in Roxbury, Mass. He married Abigail, daughter of Major Elijah Williams,12 in 1760. Thomas died in 1815, his widow in 1818. He is represented by an undated letter from his father-in-law, asking him to bring or arrange to have brought various items from Boston. [See box of reproductions for photocopy of his will, dated 1814.] Ebenezer Hinsdale Williams23, son of Thomas15 was born in 1761. He was a farmer who lived for many years at "Carter's Land." Later he bought several lots on the main village street and lived on Lot 42 from 1816 until his death in 1838.

Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 2006. xx + 298 pp. $22.95 (paper), ISBN 978-1-55849-543-2. Reviewed by Holly A. Rine Published on H-AmIndian (December, 2008) Commissioned by Patrick G. Bottiger Other Voices Heard From: Uncovered Histories of 1704 Deerfield Raid In 1707, the first printing of Reverend John Williams’s narrative, The Redeemed Captive Returning to Zion, which recounts his captivity as a result of the 1704 raid on Deerfield, appeared for mass consumption. Since then it has taken its place alongside Mary Rowlandson’s 1682 account of her captivity during Metacom’s War, The Sovereignty and goodness of God, as one of the most famous and widely read colonial captivity narratives. Rowlandson’s and Williams’s accounts have provided centuries of readers with their understanding of the frontier experience in colonial New England, which primarily focused on the religious and political significance of the captivity experience, almost strictly from a puritan perspective. Moreover, Williams’s account has served as the inspiration and centerpiece of scholarly accounts of the 1704 raid as well as collections of captivity narratives.[1] Haefeli and Sweeney have been adding to our understanding of both the Williams narrative and the raid on Deerfield for over a decade.

Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
