EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Narragansett Fort at Fort Neck during the tumultuous year of 1636, as the Pequot War raged on in New England. The fort, strategically located on the north bank of the Providence River, served as a crucial stronghold for the English settlers amidst the escalating conflict with the Pequot tribe. The Pequot War, a significant event in the early history of New England, began in 1636 when a group of Narragansett warriors attacked a band of English settlers, killing several men, women, and children. In response, the English colonists, led by the renowned explorer and military leader, Myles Standish, launched a series of brutal campaigns against the Pequot people. The fort at Fort Neck played a pivotal role in these campaigns, as it provided a secure base for the English forces to launch attacks against the Pequot strongholds. The fort's position overlooking the river allowed the English to control the waterways, making it a valuable strategic asset in the conflict. Despite the fort's importance, life inside its walls would not have been easy. The harsh New England winters, combined with the constant threat of attack from the Pequot and other Native American tribes, would have made for a challenging existence for the English soldiers and settlers. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of New England, a time when the fate of the English colonies hung in the balance. The image of the fort at Fort Neck, standing proudly against the backdrop of the river, serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the early English settlers in the face of adversity.
