On July 26, 1764, four Delaware (Lenape) Native Americans entered a settlers' log schoolhouse in the Province of Pennsylvania and killed the schoolmaster, Enoch Brown, and ten students. One other student named Archie McCullough was wounded.[1] Historian Richard Middleton described the massacre[2] as "one of the most notorious incidents" of Pontiac's War.[3]
