Battle of Turner's Falls

On May 18, 1676, Captain William Turner of the Massachusetts Militia and a group of about 150 militia volunteers (mostly minimally trained farmers) attacked a large fishing camp of Native Americans at Peskeopscut on the Connecticut River (now called Turners Falls, Massachusetts). The colonists claimed they killed 100–200 Native Americans in retaliation for earlier Indian attacks against Brookfield, the burning of Springfield and other colonist settlements and the colonial losses in the Battle of Bloody Brook. Turner and nearly 40 of the militia were killed during the return from the falls. This was part of the war later known as King Philip's War, after the Indian chief who united the tribes in 1675 and led them in a war of eradication against the white settlers throughout New England, but mainly in Massachusetts and the Connecticut River Valley.
