Description
This
is
a
photograph
of the
village
of
Gnadenhutten
,
Ohio
in the
County
of
Tuscarawas
.
Lead
by
missionary
Rev
.
David
Zeisberger
, this
village
was
settled
in
1772
as a
mission
for the
Delaware
Indians
. In
1781
, they were
ordered
to
abandon
the
village
and
move
to
northern
. They
settled
on the
Sandusky
River
, but
it
was
too
late
in the
year
to
plant
crops
.
After
a
winter
of
starvation
in
1781-1782
, a
group
was
sent
back
to
Gnadenhutten
in
March
1872
to
harvest
any
crops
they
could
find
. On
March
8
, the
group
was
attacked
by the
militiamen
who
mistakenly
thought
they were the
ones
responsible
for
attacks
on
Pennsylvania
settlements
. The
Christian
Delawares
were
placed
in
two
abandoned
buildings
,
one
for the
men
and
one
for the
women
. They were
told
that they would be
executed
in the
morning
. The
Christian
Delawares
spent
the
night
singing
and
praying
. In the
morning
, the
soldiers
took
them to a
cabin
in
pairs
and
killed
them. In
all
,
twenty-eight
men
,
twenty-nine
women
and
thirty-nine
children
were
murdered
. There were
only
two
survivors
,
who
informed
the
Moravian
missionaries
and the
other
Christian
Indians
about
what had
occurred
.
