George Washington, Devourer of Villages
Submitted by bart on Fri, 2007-06-01 14:40.
I just saw this story on one of my favorite daily reads, "Axis of Evel Knieval" The site is a sort of This day in sordid history chronicle. Yesterday, May 31st's entry, was about George Washington ordering the genocide of the Native American tribes that sided with British in the American Revolutionary War.
from the site:
On this date in 1779 Gen. George Washington, commander in chief of the Continental Army, ordered Major General John Sullivan to destroy the Iroquois tribes who had allied with the British during the American Revolution.
