"The Pound Ridge Massacre" Screening at the Yonkers Riverfront Library

The Pound Ridge Massacre: A Dark Chapter from Early America

In 1644, a combined force of Dutch and English colonists attacked a Native American village in present day Westchester, NY. It was one of the deadliest attacks on the indigenous people on the Atlantic Coast. This is the story of that event, the colony of New Netherland (later New York), and the "River Tribes" of the Hudson River Valley.
