That is not to say that the British didn't burn people inside buildings during the Revolutionary War. Apparently they did (up in Pennsylvania), but Tarleton apparently didn't. See: Schooling Brits on the Patriot -- Mention of the Wyoming Valley Massacre.

Just finished both accounts of the Wyoming Valley Massacre and all I can say is "how horrible". I had no idea the extent of the tragedy. Guess old Mel was alluding to it and the PETA Barbecue, with his rather mild in comparison Carolina church/congregation burning.

Thank you again for the interesting "reads".

On the other hand, look up the Gnadenhutten Massacre.
