Massacre in the King's Philip's War


South Hadley, MA - This is a monument for a massacre on September 18, 1675 in King's Philip's War, English against the Indians.



On the inscription is the word, "ambuscaded", which means ambushed. On the bottom was a reference to a stone slab that was 21 rods south of this monument(rod is 5.5 yards). I did not see this slab.
