Description of  The Deerfield Massacre A Surprise Attack, a Forced March, and the Fight for Survival in Early America [Audiobook]

B0CBCX7FK9 M4B@64 kbps Author: James L. Swanson Narrator: Stephen Graybill This impregnable barricade-known to early Americans as "The Old Indian Door"-constructed from double-thick planks of Massachusetts oak and studded with hand-wrought iron nails to repel the tomahawk blades wielded by several attacking Native tribes, is the sole surviving artifact from one of the most dramatic moments in colonial American history: In the leap year of 1704, on the cold, snowy night of February 29, hundreds of Indians and their French allies swept down on an isolated frontier outpost to slaughter or capture its inhabitants.
