Maybe. The spot with signs for coopers cave is a now power plant and most of it is fenced off. This is the closest that I could get to it.

There's a monument in my town of Easthampton, Mass. of a raid that took place later that same year. The village of Pascommuck had a population of 33 . Melting snow caused flooding that spring , which left the village isolated . A raiding party came down from Mt.Tom and killed 19 of the settlers , 3 others were dragged off to Canada .

I have lived in Deerfield for 50 years, and in the beginning they had a skeleton of a Native American in Memorial Hall. Luckily they removed it quite a while ago and have made more of an effort to inform about the people who were here first.

My Ancestor John Lyman was directly involved in the Battle of Turner's Falls, which was an absolute massacre of indigenous women and children that took place in 1676. I don't think the town name should be Turners Falls. I carry a sense of shame, being related to this person. I appreciate your balanced and reverent view of the Raid of 1704. There are many markers in Old Deerfield that present the white-washed history of what happened and why. I appreciate your effort to present an objective narrative around it. Ironically, my great grandfather Clarence Lyman would collect and donate a large body of artifacts found in West Brookfield (where my mother was raised) to the West Brookfield town hall/historical society. It is still there and available to view upon appointment, I believe. A second irony is that my grandfather Douglas (son of Clarence) was 18 when he and his family (Clarence was his father) were displaced by the Quabbin resevoir imminent domain project. It seems fitting (if not tragic in some sense) given that only a handful of generations prior, the indigenous people of the area were given the very same treatment. All that said - this is really well done, and I'm subscribed and will be watching more of your content!

Thank you for the excellent summary. I think this "massacre" represents one point in a century long process. Unfortunately for the colonists in this instance, they suffered greatly. However, the displaced native people of what would become Connecticut and Massachusetts also suffered. The Pequot War which was fought against the nation of that name, saw an entire culture exterminated in one night. I hope we as a society can learn these lessons of the past to make the world better for the next generation.

I never even heard about Deerfield until a few years ago. As a first generation American, I remember how Hollywood presented the Indians trying to stop an invasion of the continent,as somehow a bad thing on their part. All they were doing at the time was attempting to stop an invasion by a foreign people ,who pretended to be friendly and temporary guests .

I grew up in Putnam county, I've been inside a bunch of these, I don't believe are named or recorded yet. Personally to me it seems most logically that they are most likely Celtic ruins. Due to the astronomical alignment estimated age. I do not know how they moved the rocks, but I don't know how they moved stone henge or other celt sites. Something else in Putnam county that's strange is the rock walls that are not property dividers. I've heard it was Farmers cleaning their land, I am not sure how they would do that but I don't think they would make these boxes and lines that you will see these would not be similar sizes at all some very small some huge some square some not. You can see them on Google maps when the foliage is dead. There is also a video documenting the walls here on youtube.
