Massacre of the Conestogas: On the Trail of the Paxton Boys in Lancaster County Quilt extended familyOn two chilly December days in 1763, bands of armed men raged through camps of peaceful Conestoga Indians. They killed twenty women, children, and men, effectively wiping out the tribe. These murderous rampages by Lancaster County's Paxton Boys were the culminating tragedies in a series of traded atrocities between European settlers and native tribes. Paperback.
