Baylor, Waco, Massacre.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

The British commander, Charles “No Flint” Grey ordered his men to go in with no flints on their muskets and using only bayonets, the same tactic he used successfully at the Battle of Paoli.

From the thread’s title, one might have thought this was about the recent Baylor-Kansas State game. Baylor University is named for a great-nephew of Col. George Baylor, the Revolutionary officer whose unit was overrun.

I remember as a very young kid when the bodies of the fallen dragoons were found. The site is about five miles from where I grew up, about 2 miles where I currently live.

The prisoners from the massacre were interrogated at the Reformed Church in Tappan, NY by Maj. John Andre. After Andre's capture as a spy in Tarrytown, NY, Gen. George Washington staged Andre's espionage trial in the same church were he conducted his interrogations of Baylor's men. Andre was hanged down the street from the church on the Tappan NY, Northvale NJ border.

I think the Baylor Massacre got re-enacted last week vs Kansas State.

Thanks much for the post and ping, Coleus. This is a great reminder of the sacrifices made by the Patriots so we would be free. "A Republic if you can keep it." Indeed.

Here's the story of the massacre.
