Garrisons were maintained at Lancaster, Chelmsford, Groton and Dunstable, and the entire available force of the county was kept in a " posture of war. " Dur- ing the time that the army of the colony was absent at Narraganset, there is evidence from frequent letters, petitions, &c, from these frontier towns, that the people felt comparatively secure; but when Philip, after the Narraganset fight, fleeing with his surviving war- riors, came again into the vicinity, their fears were again aroused, ...especially when, about February 6th, the army abandoned the purr suit, leaving the Indians in the woods about Brookfield, and return- ing to Boston were disbanded. The Council, not insensible to the danger which thus threatened these towns, immediately issued orders to Major Willard to raise a large force of dragoons to scout in front of the towns of Groton, Lancaster, &c, to Marlborough. This plan met with immediate remonstrance from the towns, and appeals were at once made to the Council against the measure, as it withdrew many from the garrisons to a great distance for days to- gether, leaving them exposed to sudden incursions from the prowl- ing and watchful enemy.
