Mount Sugarloaf in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, is a local landmark in the mid-Connecticut River Valley long celebrated for its scenic views. This postcard of Sugarloaf’s south summit was printed in 1914. “King Phillip’s Seat” on the front of the postcard refers to Philip, the Wampanoag sachem who led Native American resistance against New England colonists in King Philip’s, or Metacom’s War (1675-76.) Accounts by English captives and other reports confirm Philip was in the region in 1676 although his presence at Wequamps (Mount Sugarloaf) is not documented. Philip was killed at Mount Hope in Bristol, Rhode Island, in August, 1676.
