| Death of a brother | Daniel Button September 18, 1675 (aged 17 years) Cause: Prince Philip War Citation details: Page 108 Text: List of Lothrop's Company killed at Bloody Brook includes Daniel Button of Newberry. Citation details: Chapter Fourteen, "The God of Armies" Text: Captain Thomas Lathrop, sixty-five, was escorting seventy-nine evacuees from the town of Deerfield. They were about to ford a small stream when several of the soldiers laid their guns aside to gather some ripe autumn grapes. At that moment, hundreds of Indians burst out of the undergrowth. Fifty-seven English were killed, turning the brown waters of what was known as Muddy Brook bright red with gore. From then on, the stream was called Bloody Brook. For the Indians, it was an astonishingly easy triumph. "[T]he heathen were wonderfully animated," Increase Mather wrote, "some of them triumphing and saying, that so great a slaughter was never known, and indeed in their wars one with another, the like hath rarely been heard of." But the fighting was not over yet. |
