The Spring of 1778 in Pennsylvania and New York saw the opening of a terrible civil war and one of the most brutal phases of the American Revolution. With the Continental Army focused on Philadelphia, Joseph Brandt, a charismatic Mohawk, began a guerilla war on the weakened American outposts in the Mohawk and Upper Susquehanna Valleys. While Brandt was terrorizing the Mohawk Valley, Colonel John Butler and his Rangers, a unit of 400 Loyalists and 800 Seneca warriors, made their way into the Wyoming Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania and killed two-thirds of the American force they faced.
Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, explores this vicious chapter of the American Revolution, and why it still matters today.
