ISBN: 9781609490614
Publication Date: 11/26/2010
A blow-by-blow account of the Conestoga Indians massacre, the aftermath and how the perpetrators got away with it.
On two chilly December days in 1763, bands of armed men raged through camps of peaceful Conestoga Indians and killed 20 women, children and men to effectively wipe out the tribe. These murderous rampages by Lancaster County's Paxton Boys were the culminating tragedies in a series of traded atrocities between European settlers and native tribes. Lancaster journalist Jack Brubaker allows the bloody trail left by the killers through the Pennsylvania countryside.
