jan 1, 2287 - The Quincy Massacre

Description:

In 2287, a detachment of Minutemen, under the command of Colonel Ezra Hollis, arrived in Quincy at the request of Sturges the mechanic, in order to defend the town against the Gunners. The Mintutemen were initially successful, until a veteran Minutemen by the name of Clint, who Col. Hollis thought had arrived to help in the defense, revealed that he had defected to the Gunners. After unsuccessfully convincing Col. Hollis and the mayor of Quincy to stand down, Clint led the Gunners to attack Quincy at night, resulting in the death of all the Minutemen and civilians, except for Preston Garvey and 19 others.
