Educational discussion. The Patriots got caught in the open and paid an awful price. Retaliation came with the Sullivan campaign which wiped out Indian agriculture in the region. Nice job.
I lived in Mountain Top and roamed the woods for 7 months one time. There were trees there that 3 men couldn't put their arms around. I ate squirrels. I was a flood carpenter but I decided I'd rather not and went out in the woods. Incredible country. The spirits are still there.
In 1972 during the flood I was in 44 cleaning out a house I always wondered where the name came from 40 fort Came from now I know great stuff keep it up 😮
I grew up in the village of Truckville , Pa. The location of Francis Slocum State park the location of were Francis Slocum spent her first night of her captivity by the Native Americans. She was found alive years later in Canada .
Excellent! A follow up documentary on the Sullivan/Clinton Campaign is strongly recommended. General George Washington commissioned Major General John Sullivan and some five thousand continental troops to march northward along the Susquehanna River in the summer of 1779 to avenge the Wyoming Massacre and rid the Finger Lakes region of New York of the Iroquois Confederacy. Fort Sullivan was erected near the confluence of the Chemung and Susquehanna rivers at Tioga Point (Athens, PA) in August 1779 from which Major General John Sullivan and Brigadier General George Clinton, who had joined Sullivan from the headwaters of the Susquehanna in New York, conducted their campaign deep into Iroquois country. The Battle of Newtown near Elmira N.Y. was the central military engagement of this campaign that ultimately resulted in a routing of the Cayuga and Senaca tribes, driving them north from their villages to the safety of the British at Fort Niagara. The Tioga Point Museum in Athens, PA, harbors a great deal of information about this little known, but momentous and consequential war effort carried out in retribution for the Wyoming Massacre.
@@bradycrytzerofficial I had some difficulty finding the video because it's titled differently than simply "the Broadhead Campaign." Notwithstanding, it was well worth my due diligence. Another very fine overview regarding Broadhead, the Allegheny campaign, and Thompson's Island.. Please grace us with a similarly comprehensive expose of the Sullivan/Clinton Campaign in the future. Best regards. John Knowles
Why are these men watering down the state of affairs between the Iroquois Delaware and Shawnee. The latter had been conquered through warfare with the Confederacy. They were told to leave but held no claim to lands.
Sorry didn’t mean to sound condescending. I grew up in Penn Hills township. I have frontiersmen ties to the area into Fayette County(Williams Mill). Pretty sad that our children aren’t taught both history’s anymore. Again sorry… Great channel, both had extensive knowledge. Love it, Love Pa.
Pretty sure my great grandmother died during this massacre while fleeing with my paternal grandfathers (husband and son). Interested what other records you might have on this.
Brady, I love your PA Rev War and F&I war videos. You are doing a great job!
Thank you, Mike. I’m glad to see you back at it! Great content lately!
Thank you for these. Valuable work.
This one is one of my favorites
Excellent presentation. The war along the frontier during the Revolution is not well remembered or understood. Thank you for your efforts.
I think it’s critical to understanding the war as a whole. I appreciate it!

Incredible- Brady something needs to be done about the fort Allen well, deserves much more respect and reverence than to be abandoned in a parking lot

@@launiesoult3248 thank you!
I recently learned my 4x great grandfather, Anderson Dana, was killed in this battle. It sounds truly awful.

@@sharonknowles1910 for sure! Watch my video on the Broadhead Campaign. It was the western component of that operation

Native geopolitics are difficult for some people. We need as many voices in the discussion as possible

@@BrianRandolph-jt5vp no need! I meant YOUR voice was needed. I’m glad to hear that you have such an extensive knowledge of this topic
This is a story worthy of a Movie, A real documented case of a European child being raised by Native Americans.
It’s really an amazing story

And then there's Cherry Valley.
Oh yes! Just as important for sure
