Captivity Curriculum - Click Here
In the winter of 1704, while a palisade guard was sleeping, the settlement of Deerfield, Massachusetts was raided by an allied group of Huron, Mohawk, Abenaki, Pennacook, Iroquois and French people. During the raid, 50 English settlers were killed and 112 were taken captive. The captives were marched 300 miles to Canada. Some captives died on the march and others, like Eunice Williams, the seven-year-old daughter of Deerfield's minister, endeared herself to her captives. Later, some captives returned to Deerfield to live and some wrote about their experiences. And still others chose to remain with their captives, eventually living their lives as a member of their Native families.
Inspired by that and other stories of captivity during the French and Indian War period, I have created this book for teachers, crediting sources where applicable. In this book, educators will find:
- A teacher and student resource bibliography.
- A series of related photos from Deerfield, Massachusetts.
- A lesson on state and town seals.
- A lesson on historical letters relating to captivity.
- A literature group lesson and eight weekly assignments for two books.
