Gripping Tale of Colonial America
If you want to deliver a historical account with a wallop, describing bygone events from about 320 years ago, it helps to start with a thump.
Thus, we are back on February 29, 1704 — in Deerfield, Massachusetts, on the eastern edge of the English empire, at the frontier of Colonial America — as the “thud of a tomahawk” smashes into the front door in the “middle of this wintry, snowbound New England night.” This “startles Rev. John Williams awake.”
That is definitely not the alarm clock. That is, as we read, “the opening moment of the Deerfield Massacre, a forgotten tale of war and empire, life and death, endurance and survival, family and faith, and resurrection and redemption from a long-lost America when the destiny of a continent was at stake.”
