The Battle of Oriskany

The Revolutionary War in the Mohawk Valley was largely a civil war between neighbors, siblings, and fathers and sons.

Historian Terry McMaster will discuss the Battle of Oriskany—one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolutionary War—along with the major players whose actions tore the Mohawk Valley apart, including the Herkimers, Johnsons, Brants, Butlers, the Palatine German, Dutch and Scots-Irish settlers, as well as the Mohawk, Oneida, Seneca and other Native participants.
