In the predawn hours of October 16, 1780, the settlement of Royalton, Vermont was
attacked by Mohawk Indians under the command of a British Lieutenant named Horton. The
residents were rousted out of their beds by the screaming horde of painted warriors as
their once peaceful village was plundered and burned. Murder and mayhem were
everywhere. People watched helplessly as their wives, husbands and children were put to
death and their homes were burned. They suffered unspeakable pain and suffering at the
hands of their attackers. Some were taken captive and forced to march through the
wilderness to Canada as prisoners to be turned over to the British or to be tortured and
killed. Zadock Steele was taken captive and managed to survive and return to his home.
This is his story as told by himself.
