Publisher's Synopsis
"Rutland and the Indian Troubles of 1723-30" recounts the fraught relationship between the early settlers of Rutland, Massachusetts, and the Native American tribes inhabiting the surrounding lands during a period of intense conflict. This historical account, originally published in 1885, details the escalating tensions, skirmishes, and broader context of the Indian Wars that marked the early 18th century in New England. The book offers insights into the daily lives of the settlers, their struggles for survival, and the challenges they faced in a volatile frontier environment.
Francis Everett Blake meticulously chronicles the events, drawing from historical records and local narratives to paint a vivid picture of this turbulent era. Readers interested in colonial history, Native American studies, and the early development of Massachusetts will find this work to be a valuable resource.
