Tuscaroras to the Rescue at Lewiston-- Part 2: "Bravely Repulsed a Party of the Enemy"


**  "Tuscaroras stood their ground long enough to allow the rest of the American force to escape.  While the main body of Tuscaroras held their position, three warriors moved past the western tribesman flank, blew a horn, and fooled their enemies into thinking they were being surrounded."

--Carl Benn "Iroquois in the War of 1812"  1998/

**  "The Tuscarora Indians bravely repulsed  a party of the enemy."

--  National Intelligencer, Washington, D.C., January 4, 1814.
