Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Repulse of Beaucourt: An Episode of New England Verses Read at the Annual Dinner of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts at the House of the Algonquin Club, Boston, November 21, 1894
In the year 1704 (new style), three such expeditions, under different leaders, were successively sent from Gan ada to attack the northern and western frontier of the province. Joseph Dudley, as Governor and Commander in-chief of Massachusetts, and fitz-john Winthrop, as Governor of Connecticut, had constantly exhorted the inhabitants of the frontier towns to be vigilant, and had liberally assisted them in preparing for the approach of the French and Indian enemy; and so long as their warnings were heeded, the enemy were defeated in their larger schemes, although at times some injury to property and some loss of life unavoidably ensued.
