Two Brass Kettles and a Colonial Legend in Dorchester
A Dorchester reminiscence recounts the tale of two enormous brass kettles saved from a King Philip’s War attack. Uncle Zebedee narrates how a maid hid two children under the kettles as an Indian fired, the kettles moving and ringing like creatures, while the children cried. The intruder fled as the family returned to find the Indian dead in a hazel-brinked meadow.
