Notes
Content: Printed on border: "142" "Narragansetts, who, though professing neutrality, were known to give shelter to the enemy. They were forced into a treaty, and promised to surrender the hostile Indians who should retreat to their territory. But this treaty did not affect the progress of the war. The eastern tribes took up the hatchet, and those on Connectibut river also joined in the war on the side of Philip. The towns of Hadley, Hatfield, Deerfiled, Northfield and Sugar-loaf Hill bore witness to their treachery and cruelty."
