Description:
On the evening of September 20, British forces under Major General Charles Grey led a surprise attack on Continental Army Brigadier General Wayne's encampment near the Paoli Tavern. There were many American casualties; with inaccurate later claims that the British took no prisoners and granted no quarter, the engagement became known as the "Paoli Massacre."Ajouté au bande de temps:
