The Connecticut settlement "was in a frightfully exposed position. isolated with no more than 250 men capable of bearing arms. It lay within reach of as many as 5,000 fighting barbarians: 1,00 of them, two days march to the Eastward. Pequots, most warlike of all."(See Makers of America-- John Winthrop-Twitchell, page 170). 30 men were levied in Windsor (History of Windsor, Vol 1, pp. 67-68) Windsor also furnished 6 suits of Armour, 60 bushels of corn, 50 pieces of Pork, 30 # of rice & 4 cheeses.
The corn was to be ground & 1/2 baked into biscuits The expedition had a hoghead of beer, some strong water & sack. Capt. John Mason of Windsor led the expedition and a decisive battle was fought May 26 1637. (The extermination of the Pequots was dictated by the imperious instinct of self-preservation) A grant of land was also given to each soldier, and to this day, the memory of an ancestor in the Pequot fight is anhonorable heirloom in every Connecticut family.
