Massacre at Wyoming and the backcountry war
In the Wyoming Valley episode of the Revolutionary War the frontier fight saw Major Zebulon Butler and 230 Continentals defend Forty Fort against Major Butler’s Tory and Indian allies. The assault ended in a rout, many killed or scalped, homes burned, and a depopulated valley. Sullivan later avenged the massacre, burning towns in western New York and driving Tories and Five Nations back. The piece links the Wyoming atrocity to wider royalist cruelty and notes its literary echo in Campbell’s poetry.
