The Tuscarora Heroes Story-- Part 2: The Tuscaroras to the Rescue

Tormented parents found themselves helpless in defending their children.  One 7-year-old was shot and scalped in front of his mother.

At the moment when all hope seemed to be lost and all thought they would become victims in the massacre, the local Tuscarora men  ran down to Lewiston from their village on top of the escarpment and offered the first resistance the enemy had seen.

The Tuscarora attack was so hard that the British and their allies believed there were a lot more of them than there were and the attack stopped in its tacks.

Though outnumbered 30 to 1, the Tuscarora had bought enough time for the surviving townspeople to escape.

Bravery.  --Brock-Perry
