Sad reminder
In some bushes between pumpkin fields, in the fertile Connecticut River valley, is a stone denoting one moment in the tragic history of the area. The incident was part of the "King Philip's War", the bloodiest Indian war in American history. 2,500 English colonists were killed and unknown thousands of native people, many of whom were women and children. After the war the Nipmucs in this area were hunted down by colonists and either slaughtered or sold as slaves.
