More Deerfield Massacre

What Rev. John Williams endured is an incredible story.  Perhaps the only two families who suffered more loss during the Deerfield Massacre were my ancestors, The French family and the Catlin Family, who lived directly across the street from the church where Rev. Williams preached.  The Catlin and French families lost 14 members through murder or kidnapping and enslavement as a result of the events that transpired on February 29, 1704.  I would recommend this book for any person interested in American or Canadian history.  I got this used copy in very good condition through Amazon for about $8. One interesting note--Rev. Williams was the uncle of Jonathan Edwards, the minister who is credited as  being one of the driving forces behind The Great Awakening--a revival movement primarily begun by the Puritans and Reformed Christian denominations.  At that time, our Baptist and Methodist denominations were not yet significant enough numerically to have much of an impact.  Their influence came later during The Second Great Awakening, after they had grown larger than the Puritans of New England and the Anglicans of the Southeast. If the book cover blurb below seems interesting to you, I am certain that you will enjoy the book as much as I did.
