The Introdudion.
THE keeping a ntgifier of MtmorahU Oc
currenceiy as it has been the praAice of
former AKe»i fo >« ought to be con-
tinued for the advantage of Potteritv :
And in as much as the Divino Providence has pla-
ced me*ncar the Seat of Aftion, where I have
had greater Opportunities than many others of
remarkirg the Cruelty and Perfidy of the Indian
Enemy, 1 thought it my Duty to keep a Record
thereof. Not that at firft I defign'd to make thele
Memiiri publick bat now am perfwaded to it by
Some whofe Judgment I pay • deference unto.
In the colleaing them, I have us'd all faithful-
nefs; and have been aflifted therein not only
from the AbftraAs of Original Litters, but from
Perfonsofthe beft Credit and Reputation, and
yet doubtlefs fome fmall Occurences may have
dipt my knowledge.
I might with Orojins very juflly entitle this Hif-
tory De miftria bominumy being no other then t
Narrative of Tragical Ineurfions perpetrated by
Bloody Pagans, who are Monfters of fuch Cruel-
ty, that the words of nVgii may not unaptly be
apply'd to tham.

KOT that I am unfenfible that many have (tig-
matizM the Englifii as chiefly culpable in caufing
the firft Breach between them and us ; by invad-
ing their Properties, and defrauding them in
their Dealings : But to oeniure the Publick for
the finifter AAions of a few private Perrom, is
utterly repugnant to Reafon and Equity, fifpe-
cially confidering the great Gare that the Ltp-
fistive Power had taken to proteft the Natives,
and their Interefts.
WHAT hath formerly occur'd of this kind is
none of my bufinefs to difcant upon here ; but
as to the InfraAion which I am about to make
mention of, I never yet heard the leaft Word in
their favour, hat all forts of Perfons do condemn
their Perfidy. ^ „ . ^

Inftances in the late Treaty, wherein the match-
lefs Perfidy of thefe bloody Infidels did notorn
oafly appear, jft- As the Treaty was concluded
with Volleys on both fides, as I faid before, the
Jndiant defired the Englifh to fire firft, which they
readily did, concluding it no other but a Com-
plement) but fo fbon as the Indians fired, it was.
obferv'd that their Guns were charg'd with Bul-

firniM) to make the EMlifh the Vidims of that
Day. But Providence fo order d it, as to placet
chair chief CounfeDours and Sacbtms in the Tent
where ours were feated, by which means they
cpuld not deftroy one without endangering the

May I jth. an Exprefs came from North Hamf^
toHy advifing, that about break of Day a Company
of French and Indians ^ fell on a fortified Houfe at
Tafc(/mueh;^\itrt no watch b6ii% kept, the Peo-
ple werelalavm^d in their beds by the noife of the
Enemy's rufhing on the houfe ; and before the
Inhabitants could rife, the Indiam had got their
Guns thro* the ?wt-boles, and (hot thofe that firft
appeared, killing feme and wounding others.
The fuVprized People made what refiftance they
could, firing brirkly on the Enemy ; but the houfe
being foon fet on fire, they were forc'd to yield
themfelves Prifoners. The Enemy foon drew off,
but fearing a purfuit, difmift one of thewound-
ed, with this Caution, that if the £flr^/t/Jrtollow-
ed them they would Slay the Prifoners, but the
unfortunate MeiTenger in returning back was
Slain by another Indian. On the fame Morning
anothei: Party attacked a Farm houfe two Miles
off, but the fury of the Dogs fo alarm'd the Inha-
bitants, that they inftantly got up and fired fe-
veral Guns to very good advantage, which pre-
vented any fiirther attempt. As for ihofe at ¥4-
CAMMfil they were immediatly purfued, three made
an Efcape, eight were refcued, nineteen flain, &

It a confiderible diftahce from us, in a Ctnnoo,
and To immediately recalled him.: And foon aftev
we heard the firing of a Gun up the River. Up-*
on which we concluded ro keep dole till Sun-^
Ut ; and then if we could make any further Dif-
covery of the Enemy, to attick them, if po(fible,
in the Night. And accordingly, when the Evcnr
ing can^ 'on, we mov'd towards the River, and
foon peioeived a Si»0i«, at about half a Miles
diftance^as we tho't, where we (afterwards) found
they had taken op their Lodging. But fo great
was the Difficulty, that (tho' we uied our ucmoft
Care and Diligence in it) we were not able to
make the approach till about Two- a Clock in
the Morning, when we came within Twelvtf
Rdds of the l^^«M, where they lay. But here
we met with a new Difficulty, which we
feared would havt roin'd ihe whole Defign: Fob
the Qtound was fa covered over with dry Sticks
and Brulh, for the fpace of five Rods, that we
cott^ not pafi, without making fiich a Craektmg,
aswe tho\ would alarm the Enemy, dnd gtv<l

ving to compafs our Defign, God in his good
Providence fo ordered, that^ very jmMll Qoud a^
rdfe^ which gave a frfiart CUp of thimder, and a
fttdden Shower of Rain. And this Opportunity
we embraced, to run thorow the Thicket; and
(b came uridifcovered within fight oiiht1Vigw0iii^
and peritfived by their Noife, that the Enemy
wevt' awake. But however, being onwiDingto

However the Indians could not be fatisfied, but
fo threatned the Inhabitants, that many with-
drew, and others were difcouraged from going to
Settle. Soon after they kill'd many of their Cat-
tel, and commited many other Outrages.
Nofooner was this Advice brought unto his
Excellency, Samuel Shute Efq. who was now Cap-
tain General and Governour in Chief, m and
over the Provinces of the Majfacbufets-Bay» and
jsrewH4»»pflw><,&c. (andone zealoufly iffeded
for the Intereft of the Country) but he api)oin£ed
a Gongrefs at Arnvfiek in Kenebeck River, in Au-
9U& 1717. where a great number of Initam, with
the Chiefs of every Tribe accordingly met. And
fome of the Principal Gentlemen of both Provin-
ces accompanied his ExuUmcy to the place ap-
oointed. The Complaints on each fide being impar^
tially heard and debated, theOriginal Deeds from
the Ancient S*^4W<»r« were produced and ex-
plained : having interpreters on Oath- The Ac-
iicles drawn up and figned m the year 171 J; were
again read and ratified, to the feeming Satisfaai-
on of the Principal Sachems; who inclined to
Peace; and imputed the late Mifcarri«ges unto
the young Men, but were now refolved on a firm
Harmony, and would in no refpeft violate the
former Treaties. Upon thi? his £x«fle«c> made
them feveral Prefems, which they thankfully re-
ceived, and in acknowledgment thereof, returned

After th\i they ^rink the Kings Health, irtd pro-
lAis'd AUegience to theCtOwn o^Great BritaiH ; fo
that every thing hfed now the promifihg Afpe^
of a lafting Peace- Qne thing I cannot here o-
mit ; three days after our departure, a number of
Injurs went a Dnck hunting, Which was a fea-
fbn of the year that the old ones generaHy flied
their Feathers in, and the young are not fo well
flufnt as to be able to fly } they drove them like
a flock of Sheep before them into the Creeks,
where without either Powder or Shot they kiird
at one time four thoufand and fix hundred ; for
they followed them fo clofe that they knoekt
them down with Billets and twaddles, and fold A
great number of them to the ku^Ufii for a Penny
ai dozen, which is their pradice yearly^ tho' they
feldom make fo great a Slaughter at once* Buc
before two years were expired, they again begao
coinfult the Inhabitants, being fpur'd on by the
Jefuits, which occafioned a Seeut of fifty ot fixty
Men to be fent out, wh(^kept them m fome awe^
But in the year 1720. they be^n to be more ifl-"
folent, and appear'd in greater Bodies ; upon
which CoHonel Pf^ahon was ordered with about
two hundred Men to guard the Frontiers, and
Was after that appointed with Capt* Mwdy, H«r-
iuan *Penb*Uovf, and Walnright to fend to their
Chiefe for SatisfaAfon for the late Hoftiiitys
which they had done in killing the Cattle, &c.
The Indians fearing the event promisM to pay two
hundred Skins, and for theh* fidelity to deliver
up four of their young Men as Hoftages. After

them went over to himi with whom he held a
Conference; efpecialty with Mounfieur DtU-

Mounfieur Croizen from Canada, and Sc Caftem
from Vtnobfcot came alfo along with them, who
broujght a Letter for Gtvemour Sbutt in Behalf of
the (eVeral Tribes, importing, That if the Engli^
did not remove and quit their Land in three
weeks, they would burn their Houfes and kill
them as alfo their Cattle. Upon this an additio-
nal Number of Soldiers were fent under the com*
inand of Collonel Thaxttr and Lieut. Col. Coffi
and feveral Gentlemen of the Council were alfo
appointed to enquire into the ground ofthefe
Tumults, and if poffible to renew the Pacificati-
on 2 who accordingly went and fent Scouts to caN
the Indians in, but they flighted the MeiTage with
derifion. Hereupon the Soldiers were ordered to
continue, and reinforce the Garrifons that Winter.
Bnt in the Summer they renewed their infults,
and on the thirteenth of June 1722 about fixty
of them in twenty Ctnoos, came and took nine '
Families in Merry ■ meeting- Bay yXtioiiKA which they

Month after came a greater Body from P«*
noyfeoty who kill'd five and engag'd the Fort
twelre Days j being very much encouraged by
the influence of the Frygr that wts with them.
But finding they could majce no great impreflion,
endeavoured to undermine it, and had made a
confiderable progrefs therein, till upon the falling
of much Rainj the Trenches caved in, which
caufed the feige to break up, with the lofs of
twenty of them in the lEngagment, as we were
afterwards informed. About the fame time Capt^
Samuel with five others boarded Lieut. Tilton, as
he lay at Anchor a filhing near Damam Govt :
They pinion'd him and his Brother, and beat
them very forely : But at laft one got clear and
releafed the other ; who then fell with great Fu-
ry upon the Indians, threw one over- board, and
mortally wounded two more>
Capt. Savage, Capt. Blin, and Mr. Newton, who
at this time were coming from Annaftlu, and
knew nothing of their Ravages, went into 'Paffa'
matfuady for Water. They were no (boner aihore,
but found themfelves hem'd in by a Body of /«-
diant, the French bafely ftanding by and fuffering
it. They wanted to divide the Cargo of the Sloop
among them, and at laft fent Capt. Stfvo^e on
board to procure fome Ranfome. But the Wind
rifing, he was forc'd off, and made the beft of
his way to Bo^on : Thofe that he left (after
fome Difficulty and Expence) were releafed.

diftance found the Hand of an Englifhrnan laid on

the Body, and gave it a decent Burial. It v«s
found to be the Body of Mofes Eaton of Sahsb^.

was efFeaed in ten minutes, we »«« "J "Jf

that was made, arofe and fired feveral Guns, but
did no Damage. ^ . . „
The Country at this time was in a furpr.zing
Ferment, and generally difpofed to a War j but
fheGmr»iwr?ndC(»«»ci/ could not readily come
into it, confidering the vaft Expence and Effiw
fion of Blood that would unavoidably follow :
Sndes fome were not fatisfied with the LawfaU
Sef of it ar this time : For altho' they belief
the Indians to be very criminal in many refpefts,
vet were of Opinion that theE»^# had not fo
bunaually obferved the Ptomifes m*de to them
of Tradinghoufes for the benefit of Commerce
andTraifick. and for the preventing of Frauds
and Extortions, too common in the private aeai-

His Exetlltncjt was fenfible of the Promifes that
he made them at the Treaty of Pacification i
which ho failed not to lay before the General
Aflembly ; but he met with fo much oppofition
that nothing could be cife^ed. The firing an
Armourtr at the Publick Charge, was aifo encag-
ed, but nothing done therein; Sothatdne Inditnt
were full of relentments, and thought themfelvet
wrong*d. Yet all this time they made no appUr
cation unto the Government for redrefs, which
they ought td have done by the Articles of A*
greemenc, hut broke forth into Horrid and cruel
Outrages, by burning killing and deftroying. Ac

Itid out at once, ttnleft they were more peopled ^
which hai fince been the ocbafion not only ofi^
vaft Expence, but a great effufion of Blood.
The number of VelTels were about fixteen
which the Enemy took at Canfo, as they went in-
to the Harbours for their Neceffity ; which fo
foon as Govcrnour Pbilipps was apprifed of, he
(ummoned the feveral Mafters afhore with the
Sailors, and propofed the futing out of two Sloops
well Man'd for recovering the VeiTelt and- Cap-
tives, which being approved of, he forthwith or-
dered the Drums to beat for Volunteers, aiid in
lefs then half a day fixVI them out with- about
twenty Men in each, under the command of
Capt. Eliot and Capt- R4infoit, vtrho freely oi{<n^ed

other, he got firfl to a Harbour call'd Winfagui,
where he difcovered fome VeiTeh, and bore d(-

Capt. Eliot being ill of his Wounds, was obliKd
to return, carrying with him &ven VeiTds into
C*nfOf which he retook with^ftcen Gapcives, fix
hundred Quintals of Fifb, and two heads of the
Chiefs of thofe lndl»n$ that were among them.
Upon this the Governour ordered the fame Sloop
back with a frefh fupply; of Men to reinforce
Capt. Rtbinfon, who in a Week after brought in
two IttJitm Scalps, a Scooner and a Sloop which
they took at Mailegajh»
After that he met with a French Man and an
£»^/i/2i Captive, who informed of a Body of inM-
•nt and live Veflels that lay at a little diftance,
which be immediately went in purfuit of; but
fearing the event, was not willing at firft to en-»
gage them, but kept at fome difiance, and then
three Canoos with three InAians in each double
arm'd drew near, one of which came on board,
as the reft lay on their Paddles, whom they
treatediriendly in expeAation of a greater Prize*
But the Indian growing jealous attempted to ef^
cape, and preienced his Guit to Lieut. Jtfbfons

Upon this they lir'd upon thofe in the Canoes,

what they had to offer, who complimented them
with the great fatisfaftion they had in feeing
them in fo peaceable a difpofition, and that it was
alfo the intent and defire of their hearts. It was

were beaten to Death. Unto which twas an-
fwered. That that very Lind was bought by the

fours were ready to be (hewn j And admitting it
was true what they faid, that the Englifh did fo
inhumanly beat two of their Indians, yet it was
not juftifiable in them (according to the Articles
of Peace) to commence a War at once, without
firfl making Application to the Govrnment, who
at all times were ready to do them juftice. ' ^
