Cry of the Tomahawk — James Miller

The Wyoming Valley in Northeastern Pennsylvania is an area rich in history, none which is more fascinating than its origin. Settled by people of Connecticut rather than Pennsylvania due to conflicting land grants, it produced a titanic struggle which lasted from the French and Indian War to well past the Revolutionary War. In those years many battles were fought between the Connecticut Yankees, Indians, British, Tories, and Pennamites. Wyoming did not lay on the fringes of the frontier then but some sixty miles beyond it. There the Yankees carved out a haven in the unforgiving wilderness contested by people on all sides. But they stood fast and their resolve is part of the foundation of the great American spirit which in turn would conquer the great American West. Their story is a testament to the American spirit. Come read of one of the great struggles of the Revolutionary War, for it is true, and based on the histories and letters they themselves left behind for their posterity, us.
