But … News travelled faster than you think back then.


Like a crime committed in your town,

the force multiplier effect

of many people knowing

about the horror

certainly did magnify the fear.



And great distances were travelled.

.

When Indians took hostages, they took them from this area all the way to Ohio or then to Montreal Canada.


And the picture shows an Alarm gong. It wasn’t only used for dinner.
