New book explores little known 1704 raid of English settlers in Deerfield

This year marks 320 years since a raid on the settlement of Deerfield, Massachusetts. In it, French colonists and Native Americans looted the town and took more than 100 English settlers captive, forcing them to march to what is now Canada.

New York Times' best-selling author James Swanson examines that one event in his new book, “The Deerfield Massacre: A Surprise Attack, a Forced March, and the Fight for Survival in Early America." Swanson joins Radio Boston to discuss how this history is remembered.
