Excerpt: ...blockhouse which had a watch-tower that served the purpose of a lookout and, as well, a vantage-point from which the roof might be wet down, should the savages be successful in lodging their fire-laden arrows upon it. Within the fort area was a log house, that stood well down the south side, which was of ample dimensions. There were some smaller buildings in the enclosure, while the water-supply, drawn from a well, was under the shadows of the eastern wall. At this time there were but twenty-two men in the fort, fully one hah of whom were suffering from illness.1 Sergeant John Hawks, of Deerfield, was in command. A few days before, Surgeon Thomas Williams had been despatched to Deerfield for a supply of ammunition, and Rigaud's little "army" had invested Fort Massachusetts before they could return. Over the rough clearing bristling with the blackened stumps of the huge trees whose trunks had been hewn into the timbers for the fort walls the 1"Lord's day and Monday... the sickness was very distressing.... Eleven of our men were sick, and scarcely one of us in perfect health; almost every man was troubled with the griping and flux." Norton, The Redeemed Captive. Parkman, Half-Century of Conflict, vol. ii., p. 242, note. Indians scattered themselves. On one side was the Hoosac. On the other, Saddleback Mountain, from the slopes of which, one of the fort party afterward related, "The enemy could shoot over the north side into the middle of the parade." In the fort with Hawks and his twenty-two men were three women and five children. There was no fighting-man of those days of better mettle than John Hawks,1 and the odds against him were thirty to one, with only a wall of logs between the savages and those under him in the garrison.

Excerpt: ... marked and disagreeable characteristics, whose memory went back beyond the time when Adrian Block made his discovery of Rhode Island and Connecticut, and he died, doubtless, cherishing the traditions of his race.1 The Indian warriors in Connecticut in 1680 were estimated at five hundred, by which one infers that the total Indian population of Connecticut did not exceed, at that time, four to five times that number. It will be recalled that Trumbull, upon the coming of the English, estimates the Indian population of this section of the country from twelve to twenty thousand. This estimate, however, is not accepted by the conservative historian; and, as one writer has said, "It was founded in a large part upon tradition." DeForest notes that "on the death of Uncas all unity which our subject possessed, entirely disappears." Between the different tribes conflicts had ceased, and animosities were apparently buried; but the destruction of the Indians and the disintegration of the forces which combined to make these people a formidable obstacle to the settlement of the country were still perpetuated by the pandering of the English to their depraved appetites through the inordinate use of intoxicating liquors, despite all laws to the contrary; for the traders had the same liking for money that the savage had for rum. What the bullets of the English did not accomplish was ultimately arrived at in another and more reprehensible way. '"Mr. Washington Irving says, 'The Indian obeys the impulses of his inclination and the dictates of his judgment.
