  • Complete destruction of Indian settlements; their country a desolation 84
  • CHAPTER XXXIV.

    • The massacre of Wyoming; four versions of it by accredited American Historians, all

      G. Van Shaick on the settlements 99
    • The destruction of Indian villages and other settlements to the extent of "several miles on both sides of the Susquehanna," more than an equivalent revenge for the destruction of Wyoming (in a note) 100
    • This only the beginning of vengeance upon the Indian settlements on the part of the "Continentals;" cruelties compared 100
    • General Sullivan's expedition, and destruction of the towns, settlements, crops, and orchards of the Six
      Nations of Indians, as stated by Dr. Andrews 100
