Ephraim Williams (1714~1755) was colonel in charge of a regiment of Massachusetts militia when he was killed at Crown Point, N.Y., September 8, 1755, in one of the engagements of the French and Indian Wars. His death put life into a will made in Albany less than a month before and fulfilled his great desire to do something for those yet unborn. This volume brings together the significant documentary remains of a colonial soldier who is quite unknown except for the college and the town that carry his name. There are glimpses here of political and religious life in colonial Massachusetts and of the everpresent dangers of frontier life. The over one hundred documents and the running narrative that holds them together constitute an introduction to a fascinating moment in the history of the American frontier, when the last will and testament of a soldier became a bold challenge to barbarism and ignorance. The jacket and end papers show a scene of Williamstown and Williams College a hundred years after the death of Ephraim Williams. It is taken from a lithograph published by P. S. Duval & Co. of Philadelphia, based on a drawing of George Yeomans of the Class of 1856. This is the first major publication of the Berkshire County Historical Society, founded in 1962 for the purpose of nurturing an understanding of the past of Berkshire County. Its first book is devoted to a one~time resident of southern Berkshire who gave his name to the county's most northern township.
