Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Tribute to the Memory of Joseph White
Still, Rice was constantly trusted by Gov. Shirley and his military subordinates throughout that war, and his house was the rendezvous for everybody concerned in the public events of that region. Rice himself and his sonswere at times soldiers for considerable intervals in one or other of the two forts above him on the uplands; and Capt. Ephraim Williams, long time the commandant of the line of forts, and afterwards the founder of Williams College, was often sheltered under that roof as he passed from Shirley and Pelham forts to Fort Massachusetts and back again. Chaplain John Norton has the following entry in his diary Thursday, August 14, 1746, I left Fort Shirley in company with Dr. Thomas Williams, and about fourteen of the soldiers we went to Pelham Fort, and from thence to Capt. Rice's, where we lodged that night.
