Cool stuff to a ten year old but the truth of the story is that John Underhill was a mercenary with a small army who hired out to Dutch and English communities who wanted to get rid of the Indians in their area.
The suggested battle was a high-tech, pre-dawn raid on a small tribe of pretty much defenseless fishermen Indians. It was a massacre, not a fight and it entirely eliminated the Massapequas as a tribe.
Of note...both Gerry Seinfeld and Carlo Gambino (THE Godfather) lived on that peninsula in the sixties.
The Indian massacre of 1622 (also known as the Jamestown Massacre) occurred in the Virginia Colony on Good Friday, March 22, 1622. About 347 people, or almost one-third of the English population of Jamestown, were killed by a coordinated series of surprise attacks of the Powhatan Confederacy under Chief Opechancanough.
Jamestown was the site of the first successful English settlement in North America in 1607, and was the capital of the Colony of Virginia. Although Jamestown itself was spared due to a timely last-minute warning, many smaller settlements had been established along the James River both upstream and downstream from it and on both sides. The attackers killed men, women, and children, and burned homes and crops.
I can’t imagine why they might want to get rid of the indians in the area (rolling eyes)....
Stop buying the PC crap... The indians by and large were violent savages.
