He was im* mediately shot and killed, after which the Indians retreated. The walls of this fort were standing as iate as 1785, in which year they were demolished. Dedham was ordered by the General Court i:i 1673 to prepare for war. The trainband had more frequent meetings, a barrel of powder and other ammunition were purchased, the great gun was put on wheels, and thus the town made ready for war. The inhabitants were encouraged to enlist into the troop of horse, commanded by Captain Thomas Pre...ntice of Cambridge, by an offer of an abatement of their taxes. This was considered a great inducement as taxes were very high. A war assessment was levied upon the inhabitants of Dedham which exceeded one shilling for every pound of val- uation, a rate in excess of $20 on a thousand, and this simply for purposes of war.
The forces of the Massachusetts Colony were mustered on December 10, 1675, on Dedham Plain. From this point they marched against the Narragansett fort. Assembled on that historic spot, a proclamation was made to the soldiers in the name of the Governor, stating that if they played the man, took the fort and drove the enemy out of the Narragansett coun- try, which was their great stronghold, they should have a gratu- ity of land beside their wages.
