SUMMARY:ONSLAUGHT • The Wessagusset Incident
DESCRIPTION:..with author and lecturer Christopher Daley\nIn 1623\, Myles Standish and a group of eight men\, including Wampanoag pniese-warrior Hobbamock\, entered the Wessagusset Colony and by guile lured two of the Massachuset tribal leaders and a young native boy into a blockhouse and brutally murdered them. Later that day\, the same nine men engaged in several skirmishes with the Massachuset tribe. What were the factors that led up to this action by the Pilgrims? What effect would this have on Native/English relations for years to come? \nThis is a one-hour illustrated historical presentation that chronicles the arrival of the pilgrims at Plymouth and the beginnings of their colony as well as the little-known arrival of “Weston’s Men”\, a group that began a colony in what is now the town of Weymouth\, then known as Wessagusset. The interaction between the natives and the two English groups (Pilgrims & Weston’s men) will be examined along with the factors that led to the bloodletting of 1623. Finally\, a blow-by-blow description of the attack at Wessagusset will be depicted followed by a discussion on the far-reaching after effects of the attack on Wessagusset. \n			\n				Purchase Tickets Online\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Alternately\, you can also: \n\nPurchase tickets at the door (NOTE: Seating is limited)\n\nEmail GAR Hall Events for more information! \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Christopher Daley:  Mr. Daley is a published author and historian.
