Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Godfrey Nims: As Read to the Nims Family Association, at Deerfield, Massachusetts, on August 13, 1914 Children of his children, we have come home to tread the soil upon which fell the sweat, tears and blood of our fathers and mothers in those early days of labor, suffering and savage murder. Periods of calm there were too, when the spinning wheels hummed in the primitive homes of this little village and the scythes swung and swished in the golden fields out yonder, and the settlers forgot for a time that the dark bordering for ests hid wild beasts formed as men but fierce as fiends. Here, Godfrey Nims builded - and, after fire devoured it, build-ed anew-his home, as pioneers have built and will build while there shall remain a frontier; and he and those about his hearth loved it as we love that for which we have planned and worked. As our minds revive the personality of our com mon ancestor, that common blood which inseparably links us should thrill in our veins. This Nims lot was, not so long ago the stage upon which was enacted one of those pioneer tragedies too blood-curdling and awful to adequately picture in words the naked Indians - painted demons - slaughtering children by the lurid light of a flaring home, amid the din of savage yells and the shrieks of terrified women and of children butchered or burned.

Book Description
Sarah Hoyt was awakened by the sound of screaming and gunshots one predawn morning in February 1704 in the westernmost outpost of Deerfield in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The dreaded attack by the French and Indians from New France was really happening, and soon, she was led with more than a hundred of her friends and family members who had survived the massacre three hundred miles north to New France where she was separated from all of her surviving family except one of her brothers and a childhood friend, Ebenezer Nims, and sent to live in a Huron Indian village near Quebec. Would she ever be rescued to see her beloved family members and fianc, Joseph, again? After many years in captivity, would she be forced to go back on her promise to her father and her pastor that she would never give up her Puritan beliefs? Would she be forced to marry one of the French soldiers who had taken part in the raid, or did God have other plans for her?
