Description
The 1704 French and Indian Raid on Deerfield is a masterful work of history that reexamines the infamous attack on the Massachusetts village of Deerfield. Evan Haefeli and Kevin Sweeney draw on previously untapped sources to explore how the assault grew out of complex aspirations, ambitions, and calculations among New England family farmers, Canadian colonists, French officials, Native warriors, and others. The authors reconstruct events from multiple points of view, weaving together stories of individuals involved in the raid and its aftermath. The result is a nuanced account of the Deerfield attack and its place within the broader context of empires and cultures in conflict. Haefeli and Sweeney examine how captives and captors negotiated cultural boundaries and responded to competing faiths and empires, creating a rich and detailed narrative. Through their research, Haefeli and Sweeney shed new light on this pivotal event in American history, revealing the complexities and motivations of those involved.
