What's it all about?
See the story here:
Link 1
Link 2
18 Shawnee flew in like a motorcycle gang, burning, killing, and taking hostages all the way back to Ohio.
10 Shawnee wreaked havoc in the Shawneeland area of Great North Mountain.
The other 9 went down to Middletown and Cedar Creek area.
Those hostages were recovered a year later.
Meet the Clowser family. This is quite a story they celebrate.
