On September 12, 1812, a group of what are now believed to be Shawnee and/or Delaware Indians crossed the Muscatatuck River, just west of what is now the town of (need name here), Indiana, heading south toward the settlement of Pigeon Roost. The Indians, referred to as a "war party" in reports published on September 13, in the Charlestown (need newspaper name here), were said to have killed 24 settlers in Pigeon Roost during the afternoon of the 12th day of September: 1 man, 7 women and 16 children. The purpose of this entry is to add accounts of the events of that day from the point of view of the Indians - whether from the stories told by those who participated and passed down to their descendants or other Indians familiar with the stories, from documents produced from various sources claiming to represent the Indian viewpoint, or from stories told about the event as related long after all participants were dead. Am I missing any other possible sources that could clarify what happened at Pigeon Roost on that late summer day in the Northwest Territory while the War of 1812 was being fought on at least three continents - North America, Europe and Africa?
