The Deerfield Massacre occurred in 1704 in Massachusetts. The massacre was carried out by a tribe of Native Americans in retaliation against French and English attacks. The small town of Deerfield was raided and about 112 people were taken captive with 47 more being slain on the spot. The captives are then forced to march 250 miles through the snow to reach the Native American settlement. Most of the captives were ill-prepared to take this journey and those who were not able to keep up are slain by the captors. Only 89 people survived the journey with all teenagers, most adult men and a few others making it to Canada. English soldiers arrive to Deerfield too late to engage in combat and decide that the risk of following the captives far outweighs any benefits.
