After some successes of Philip, there was a general rising of the Indians against the English for an extent of nearly three hundred miles. The In- dians were perfectly acquainted with the situation of every English settle- ment. They lurked at every un- guarded pass, crept, by night into their barns, gardens, out-houses, con- cealed themselves behind fences, laid in wait in the fields. The whole' country, save some few towns, was a wilderness. Parties of Indians would plunder and burn a town, earry the inhabitants away captive and then retire into the forests and swamps. Brookfield had been burnt, Hadley, Deerfield and Northfield had been attacked and numbers killed; Cap- tain Lathrop and ninety of a hundred men had been ambushed and slaugh- tered between Hadley and Deerfield. Springfield had been attacked and partly destroyed. The Narragansetts who had made a treaty with the Eng- lish now harbored their enemies and many of their warriors, after having been engaged in these marouding ex -! peditions had returned wounded.
