Nine Squares in a Wilderness

By:
While the ship Hector was sailing across the Atlantic in the spring of 1637, the English settlers of New England were conducting a genocidal war against the Pequot. In the month of May, English soldiers burned the Pequot fort near New London and massacred many hundreds of Pequot men, women and children. The few who escaped fled westward along the shore of Long Island Sound.
As the soldiers pursued the Pequot along the shore, they stopped several days at a place called Quinnipiac (or Long-water-land), because they thought some of the Pequot were hidden there. The English liked the place very much, and reported back to Boston that Quinnipiac showed great potential for a settlement. They described a fine harbor with rivers emptying into it and broad rich meadows on all sides.
