Description:
Queen Anne's War was the result of the worldwide maritime and colonial rivalry between Great Britain and France and their struggle for predominance on the European and North American continents. One of the principal events of Queen Anne's War was the capture and burning of Deerfield, Massachusetts with the massacre of many of the inhabitants of the town in 1704 by French troops and their Native American allies. Rev. Taylor's sermon reflects on the 100 year anniversary of the atrocity.
