Publisher's Synopsis
The Cherry Valley Massacre was a horror that was remembered by those participants, for the rest of their lives. This was an attack, and not even a directed attack. In this massacre, Men, Women, Children, Whigs, and Tories were killed without discrimination. There were constant raids and destruction, but this was pure horror. It was also outside of the season of war, and unexpected. In these early times of our country, war was called off during the winter. No one had adequate clothing, and there was no snow removal.
