It was an appropriate day to hike through the woods and visit a piece of imperialist history, and while contemplating the arc of history I listened to talks and books for my #AcademicRunPlaylist. (1/4)

The so-called Redeption Rock. It is a large glacially-scarred rock with some moss growing on it on a bright day, with bare trees behind it. On the middle of the rock is an engraving that reads: "Upon this rock May 2, 1676 was made the agreement for the ransom of Mrs Mary Rowlandson of Lancaster between the Indians and John Hoar of Concord. King Philip was with the Indians but refused his consent."
