Join us at Acton Memorial Library for a discussion and questions from Brent Ranalli. Stick around for a signed copy of the book!

You do not need to read the book ahead of time to attend.

Join Brent Ranalli for a discussion of his book Tahattawan’s World. 

"Who were the Indians who lived in the Acton area before the English arrived? It is widely understood that this band, led by their sachem Tahattawan, transferred Musketaquid/Concord to the English in the 1630s, adopted Christianity, settled down nearby at Nashobah/Littleton, endured rough handling during King Philip’s War in the 1670s, and then merged into the general diaspora of Christian Indians in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Local historian Brent Ranalli has undertaken a fresh, close reading of the source documents from the seventeenth century for a new book project. This talk presents some of his findings, enhancing our understanding of the band and their story."

This program is presented in partnership with the Friends of Pine Hawk
