Native American Tribe Series

---

Pocomtuc

A tribe formerly living on Deerfield and Connecticut rivers, in Franklin County, Massachusetts. Their principal village, of the same name, was near the present Deerfield, and they were frequently known as Deerfield Indians. They had a fort on Fort Dill in the same vicinity, which was destroyed by the Mohawk after a hard battle in 1666.

They were an important tribe, and seem to have ruled overall the other Indians of the Connecticut Valley within the limits of Massachusetts, including those at Agawam, Nonotue, and Squawkeag. They combined with the Narraganset and Tunxis in the attacks on Uncas, the Mohegan chief. All these joined the hostile Indians under King Philip in 1675, and at the close of the war in the following year fled to Scaticook, on the Hudson, where some of them remained until about 1754, when they joined the Indians in the French interest at St Francis, Quebec.

I almost didn't find this one - grass had grown over and almost covered it completely.

Put some miles on while caching today! I started out in Parker for the event, some lab caches, and working on my 360 degrees of Colorado challenge. Peace love pi was going to join me, but felt a little under the weather. I wound up meeting her a little north of here to visit a cache on its birthday, and we wound up in Brighton. We didn't have a lot of time, so we picked this power trail nearby. I didn't realize it, but we hit about 26 caches in an hour and a half. We replaced logs and containers as needed. Signed logs with the Pi symbol and a paw, and not always at the end of the line. What can I say? I was a little messy today. Sorry for the cut and paste logs mondou2, but I didn't take good notes. Thanks for the smiley! Find #3366.
