Redemption rock in Princeton Mass. 1600s history between Indians & colonists

Settlers & Indians met at this location in 1676 to bargain for the release of captives. Upset by the spread of colonial settlements westward, the chief King Philip (Metacomet) led the Nipmuc, Narragansett, and Wampanoag in defense of their land. In February of 1676, several hundred Native Americans attacked Lancaster and captured Mary White Rowlandson, along with her three children, and twenty other settlers and took them into the wilderness for several months. They returned to Lancaster in late April of 1676, where, as the inscription says, John Hoar of Concord negotiated Mary’s release at this huge, flat-topped rock in Princeton Massachusetts.
