This essay highlights the prominent role of the Dickinson family in the story of the colonization of the Connecticut River Valley, focusing especially on deeds, negotiations, warfare, and captivity. It also locates Emily Dickinson’s ancestors and the Connecticut River Valley within the larger networks of Native space. The essay focuses on the period 1650–1759, including the Anglo-Abenaki wars and the settlement of Amherst, but touches on nineteenth-century Amherst, as well.
