Alan Fitzpatrick will talk about his book "Vengeance is Mine" which tells the story of Bemino, called Killbuck, who was a Delaware war captain and medicine man who fought against the English in the French and Indian War. What separated Bemino from his Native contemporaries was his ability to speak English, which he learned as a child at his home in what is now New Jersey.With a handful of warriors, Bemino was able to out-think, out-maneuver and out-fight men of the Virginia Regiment that George Washington sent to destroy him on the Ohio frontier. The results were catastrophic defeats for Washington’s men who unwittingly fell in the well-planned ruses and ambushes.
The program is free and open to the public.
