Gnadenhutten
Gnadenhutten
. There were 2 Gnadenhutten Massacres.
.
The 2nd one was in Ohio March 8, 1782 and is why you've seen this story in the newsfeed recently. . These 2 stories are an endless rabbit hole. Travel this whole warren? No one has completed the journey. .
. Winchester VA connection.
. William Crawford, A Winchester area resident, a lifelong surveyor friend of George Washington, paid for the 2nd one with his life burned at the stake June 1782 (even though he didn't participate in the massacre but his lieutenants did).
.
This was a year after Yorktown battle, a year before the treaty ending the Rev War.
.
This burning at the stake was a national headline at the time, and later he paid posthumously with his statue's head decapitated during the Charlottesville demonstrations of August 2017. Source for Picture - see link. . Groupthink from then to now, is the same as it ever was, same as it ever was. .
Gnadenhutten Meaning? means variously, Log Tabernacle, Tents of Grace. .

In 1810, Tecumseh reminded future President William Henry Harrison, “You recall the time when the Jesus Indians of the Delawares lived near the Americans, and had confidence in their promises of friendship, and thought they were secure, yet the Americans murdered all the men, women, and children, even as they prayed to Jesus?” .
