The First Indian Massacre in the Valley of Wyoming: Fifteenth October, 1763 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Indian Massacre in the Valley of Wyoming: Fifteenth October, 1763 The Paper which follows was hastily prepared for the Wyoming Anniversary held at Forty Fort, on the 3d of July, 1889. Owing to the views expressed being so widely different from those held by the historians of Wyoming, it was not received with that candor manifested by the writer in its preparation. While some of those who heard it read, deemed it "defiant," portions of the newspaper press persisted in misrepresenting the facts stated. As a lover of the history and people of Wyoming, there was no desire to distort anything, and no one appreciated this more than that generous soul who has passed out from among men. What had been said was pondered well by him, and after faithful research, he came upon information which to him was convincing. The first intimation had, was a letter of the date of 25th December, 1889, which in part, reads: "In looking over my grandfather's papers, I came across some pieces of paper much worn, which I had the curiosity to pick out and put together until I got one half of the document that could be read together. Its looks impressed me with the idea of its having been read much and worn in the handling. The contents were somewhat novel to me, and proved to be just what we both had long been seeking, the solution of the massacre of 15th October, 1763. As it is in my grandfather's handwriting, I cannot go back on it, for I have always found him perfectly truthful.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often misunderstood history of the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania, specifically focusing on the tragic events surrounding the first massacre of settlers in 1763. Challenging long-held assumptions and traditional narratives, the author meticulously examines historical records, personal accounts, and official documents to offer a fresh perspective on this pivotal moment in American history. The author sheds light on the intricate relationships between the Connecticut settlers, the Pennsylvania authorities, and the Native American tribes, particularly the Six Nations Iroquois, who played a central role in the conflict. By exploring the motivations and actions of each group, the book unveils a nuanced understanding of the events leading up to the massacre, dispelling myths and misconceptions that have persisted for generations. Central to the book's analysis is the exploration of cultural clashes, political tensions, and the struggle for land ownership during a critical period of colonial expansion. The author delves into themes of prejudice, historical bias, and the impact of cultural identity on the interpretation of past events. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling re-evaluation of the first Wyoming massacre, urging readers to reconsider established historical narratives and embrace a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities and tragedies that shaped the early American frontier.
