Dummer, Fort.

In the war against the Norridgewock Indians (1723) repeated attempts were made to engage the assistance of the Mohawks, but they were unsuccessful, and Massachusetts was advised, with justice, to make peace by restoring to the Indians their lands. The attacks of the barbarians extended all along the northern frontier as far west as the Connecticut River. To cover the towns in that valley Fort Dummer was erected on the site of what is now Brattleboro, in Vermont, the oldest English settlement in that State.
