0:00.0	Music
0:28.0	Welcome back, everyone, to 1,000 One Heroes, legends, histories, and mysteries podcast.
0:33.0	This is your host, John Hagadorn, and it's great to be with you today, and digging into history once again.
0:39.0	Today's story takes us back to Colonial America and the Indian Wars of the 17th century,
0:44.0	as France and England both turned the New England landscape a bloody red in their efforts to seize a foothold in the New World.
0:51.0	France had gained a foothold in Canada and was using all their powers to buy Indian alliances,
0:56.0	paying warriors handsome bounties for scalps of colonial settlers in America and for captives.
1:02.0	England had established a foothold in Virginia and Massachusetts and was busily populated New England,
1:07.0	Virginia, the Carolinas, and the frontiers in New York and Pennsylvania, with colonists who were seeking land and a better life.

2:04.0	Many of the men involved had seen the grizzly evidence of Indian attacks on their families and neighbors.
2:09.0	Their hearts had long since turned cold.
2:12.0	The heroine of this story, Hannah Dustin, was a farmwife and mother, who was the victim of an Indian attack.
