- Settlers & Indians met at this location in 1676 to bargain for the release of captives.
Upset by the spread of colonial settlements westward, the chief King Philip (Metacomet) led the Nipmuc, Narragansett, and Wampanoag in defense of their land. In February of 1676, several hundred Native Americans attacked Lancaster and captured Mary White Rowlandson, along with her three children, and twenty other settlers and took them into the wilderness for several months. They returned to Lancaster in late April of 1676, where, as the inscription says, John Hoar of Concord negotiated Mary’s release at this huge, flat-topped rock in Princeton Massachusetts.
The redemption rock inscription " Upon this rock May 2, 1676 was made the agreement for the ransom of Mrs Mary Rowlandson of Lancaster between the Indians and John Hoar of Concord. King Philip was with the Indians but refused his consent "

Awesome episode, I love American history, thanks for sharing your experience!

Great history, Charlie! Having grown up around the area, I heard so many tales of King Philip's War when I was young. In a nutshell, it was the first organized Native American uprising against the Europeans, and it was the one that came the closest to actually driving out the settlers. Amazing stuff! It was Benjamin Church, the man who put together the first Colonial Ranger force and taught them how to fight and use guerilla tactics that turned the tide of that war. He also was the first to integrate friendly Indian recruits into his Rangers.
Hi Charlie! Welcome to my home town. Great presentation of a very interesting and historic place. Been there as a kid and have been there too with mine. Love all your material and knowledge on history. Happy hiking and hunting!
Thanks for sharing such an interesting location and moment in history Charlie, it was very thought provoking. I will be looking further into this as many branches of my family were from Massachussets Bay Colony. Have a great day!
A very interesting place to visit and explore, I wish I could but you have taken me to visit with you so thank you Charlie. The history of that area is fascinating and seems full of intriguing facts, which I love lol. An enjoyable and interesting video Charlie which struck my imagination. Take care my friend, good luck and have a wonderful time exploring Mary-Ellen LFOD
I live not to far away from Princeton, gotta check that out next time I'm there.
Very cool. I've spent a lot of time hunting in the woods in that area and I've driven by on Redemption rock Trail (RT 140) but never stopped by the rock. I'll have to make a point of seeing it next time I'm in the area. Thanks.
There is an elementary school named after Mary Rowlandson in Lancaster. My daughter went there.
Tks for sharing this , I've learned something else .
my oldest recorded family member, Petre Maston [ie] Masten, was there in 1631...it's in my family tree
My Grandfather 16 or 17 generations back was John Hoar
Yeah, that's neat! Thanks, Charlie.
An interesting piece of Colonial history
If you like Princeton you should check out the legend of Lucy Keyes. (Not the movie)The Princeton historical society has some of her things.
Those Indians had ,had any idea of the history of broken treaties they would have just wiped the Puritans out.
Charlie you are in my back yard .up the road.
Sorry, but references to the late 17th century bother me because of the wholesale robbery of Indian land by the cristianity converting pilgrims. Natives who gave up the old ways had no defense against the onslaught of the europeans and religion was used as weaponry in order to "de-fang the savage." Love my country, but I regret how the original occupants were treated.
Why do white Irish people believe the colonizers in American history is part of their history when they know they were not? Simply because they were white? Irish people came later, it's interesting how everyone mashes others history into their own. America has a funny way of doing that with these labels put on us all by the census. Black, White etc. I'm not writing this to be hateful but to make people think about this a little bit deeper.
