Historic New York
This area was once the gathering place for Tories and Indians bent on the destruction of American frontier settlements. In 1777, General Nicholas Herkimer met with Chief Joseph Brant and discussed a peace which might have ended the bloody raids on the Mohawk Valley. Brant was not intimidated by Herkimer's large escort of Tryon County militia, but instead challenged the Americans, saying that he was "ready for war." Herkimer returned north but the two met again, on the bloody battlefield of Oriskany.| HM Number | HM1Q27 |
