On July 3, 1778, British forces massacred 360 men, women, and children in Wyoming, Pennsylvania. An excerpt from the article:
"The Battle of Wyoming was also known as the Wyoming Massacre. It was an encounter between American Patriots and Loyalists accompanied by Iroquois raiders that took place in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania.
After the battle, settlers claimed that the Iroquois raiders had hunted and killed fleeing Patriots, before using ritual torture against 30-40 who had surrendered, until they died."
A great article ensues.
