2. Sudbury Fight - Wikipedia.
The Sudbury Fight (April 18-21, 1676) was a battle of King Philip's War, fought in what is today Sudbury and Wayland, Massachusetts, when approximately five hundred Wampanoag, Nipmuc, and Narragansett Native Americans raided the frontier settlement of Sudbury in Massachusetts Bay Colony. Disparate companies of English militiamen from nearby settlements marched to the town's defense, two of which were drawn into Native ambushes and suffered heavy losses. The battle was the last major Native American victory in King Philip's War before their final defeat in southern New England in August 1676.(Submitted on May 27, 2026, by G.W.Bartlett of Hingham, Massachusetts.)

In this video we will explore the events of April of 1676, continuing to honor the nearly forgotten 350th Anniversary of King Philip's War. With tremendous victories highlighting march including the destruction of a major garrison town and an entire trained band on the Pawtucket River, Philip and Canonchet plan to break the cordon of fortified settlements guarding Boston with an attack on Sudbury. A great victory inside the ring of hinterland garrisons might bring more tribes to the side of Philip and his confederated First Nations making his ultimate success inevitable.
