Book Excerpt*Jul 22, 1710 
On the morning of July 22, 1710, while Philip and his eldest son Samuel were ploughing in the field, not far from his house, they were surrounded by a band of Indans who fired upon them. Samuel fell mortally wounded. Philip and a neighbor named Jacob Gilman were taken prisoners... Finally, after long marches ... they arrived in Canada, and were sold as prisoners of war to the French. They were informed if they would build a saw-mill for the government and teach the French to saw lumber after the English method, they should have their freedom. They joyfully accepted such easy terms, erected the mill, instructed the French, and regained their freedom, although it is said the French never could make the mill run. This mill is said to have been the first for sawing lumber ever erected in Canada. Tradition says that Philip remained in Canada about two years before he again saw his home.1
