Throughout 1778, Iroquois war parties repeatedly raided the frontiers of Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. In 1779, General George Washington decided to punish them. He sent Major General John Sullivan into the Iroquois country with orders to make it uninhabitable. "Scorched Earth – General Sullivan and the Senecas" tells how Sullivan’s invasion force of thousands of soldiers marched it into the Pennsylvania hinterland, up the Susquehanna River, and into the Iroquois homeland. Along the way, the troops burned every village and destroyed every farm they found. As the army advanced,...

1779 was the fifth year of the American Revolution, and many Iroquois Indians living in western New York sided with the British. Their war parties repeatedly raided frontier settlements in Pennsylvania and New York. To punish them, General George Washington sent an army led by General John Sullivan to invade the Iroquois homeland. Sullivan burned their villages and destroyed their farms, and Washington believed the Iroquois had been forced out of the war. But Washington had miscalculated: Sullivan had only kicked a hornet’s nest. For the Iroquois, 1780 became a year for revenge. As winter...

A wintry December 1776 forced General Washington’s army to struggle against the ice, snow, sleet, and wind as well as against Hessian and British soldiers. John L. Moore’s nonfiction book draws on first-person accounts to chronicle these struggles. In the weeks prior to Washington’s victory over the Hessians at Trenton: Continental regiments coming south from Albany, New York, to join Washington in Pennsylvania’s Bucks County ran into a severe snowstorm as they marched across northern New Jersey. Militia troops from Dover, Delaware, marched through snow to join Washington in eastern...

When the American Revolution began in 1775, neither the British nor the Americans wanted to involve the native tribes. “This is a family quarrel between us and Old England,” the U.S. Congress told the Iroquois Confederacy. “You Indians are not concerned in it.” The Indians didn’t want to take sides. “We will not suffer either the English or Americans to march an army through our country,” Guyasuta, the ranking Iroquois chief in the Ohio River Valley, declared at Pittsburgh in 1776. The natives’ neutrality didn’t last another year. “The western Indians are united against ...

With the sesquicentennial of the American Revolution on the horizon, "Tories, Terror, and Tea" delves deeply into contemporary accounts of the times that so severely tried the souls of Rebels and Tories alike. Author John L. Moore paints a surprisingly fresh picture of the era. His true stories range from the eastern cities to the rustic frontier. There’s a common misconception that the American Revolutionary War pretty much ended when the British surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781. Not true. More than eight months later, a force of Indians and British burned the western ...

Months after the October 1781 surrender of the British army at Yorktown, pro-British Indians continued to raid American frontier settlements along the Ohio River. To stop these raids, a militia force of nearly 500 Pennsylvanians and Virginians, all of them on horseback, invaded Ohio in early 1782. Led by Colonel William Crawford, the militia intended to destroy the villages of the Delaware, Shawnee, and other hostile tribes. Accustomed to fighting in the forests, the troops ventured as far west as the prairies of the Sandusky River Valley. Drawing upon first-person accounts, the nonfiction ...

One Sunday in 1782, white vigilantes suddenly appeared at a camp of Delaware Indians on an island in the Allegheny River near Fort Pitt in western Pennsylvania. Guns blazing, they attacked, killing several Indians and neutralizing U.S. soldiers assigned to guard them. These Delawares were active allies of the American army. Two held the rank of captain, and others had served as scouts. The chief, Colonel Killbuck, escaped by swimming. The title of John L. Moore’s nonfiction book, “Murder at Killbuck Island,” comes from the true story of these killings. It is among the most obscure of ...

During the 1970s and 1980s, the United States led the world in negotiating one of the most important treaties in history: the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Through these negotiations the United States secured the largest area of maritime jurisdiction in the world—an area larger than the continental United States itself—and protected navigational freedom, so critical for Naval mobility. Today UNCLOS is in force for 168 countries and the European Union. Isolationist arguments, however, have for a quarter-century prevented the Senate from voting on the Convention.
