First Muster, Pequot War examined at SSU

[ad_1]

SALEM — Salem State University hosted a group of expert speakers Wednesday for a panel discussion to provide more context to the history of the Pequot War and the First Muster celebrated every April on the Salem Common.

The panel focused on the Pequot War, occurring between July of 1636 and September 1638, and the First Muster, the organization of the English colonist’s militia in 1636, which would serve as the origins of today’s National Guard.
