Deerfield, Massachusetts, held its second pageant in 1913, and local photographers Frances and Mary Allen chronicled the event. Shown here is part of Episode IV(a), “Indian Attack on Stockwell’s Fort,” during which the Nipmucks, Wampanoags, and “perhaps the remnant of the Pocumtucks” ambushed the north garrison. Historical accuracy was not as big a concern in 1913, as it is today, when this portrayal is judged to be highly stereotypical and innacurate.
