hey david, do not know about online although am certain someone on this site will know. since you brought it up am wondering if you live near enough to attend the reenactment of the massacre every third saturday in september? they build and burn a small replica of the fort. there is a cemetery there with some names but not all as not all are known. the town of franklin has a small library with books that note the subject. we also caught a small town parade that saturday we visited. too cute. civil war costumes and skunks in a cage. that said, there are many books which relate the story of the massacre. years ago that massacre was confused with the fort upper tract massacre which occured the day prior. some folks think their ancestors died at ft. seybert when they actually perished at upper tract. after a dig near the stream by a soy bean field belonging to mr. mallow a monument was erected in the field with some names of those massacred at upper tract. that massacre was considered a wipe out of all there. it amazes me how the shawnee and delaware led by killbuck traveled over mountain to ft. seybert in a day. suggest go online and type in ft. seybert and see if can get a list of books or go online and check a library catalogue. the handley regional library archives in winchester, va. has many of these books. you can get them through interlibrary loan. feel certain dehaas book on indian wars of west va. mentions the massacres but it does not have an index. sorry can not think of titles now. highly recommend checking handley library catalogue. s ps. out of curiosity what is name of ancestor you "lost" there? >From: "David Armstrong" <heraldry@meer.net> >Reply-To: wvhardy@rootsweb.com >To: <wvhardy@rootsweb.com> >Subject: [WVHARDY] Fort Seybert >Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 22:58:50 -0400 > >Would anybody know where there is a good scholarly article on line abut the >1758 Fort Seybert massacre in Pendleton County, WV?

While not Historical fiction, I thought that I might take a moment to plug a book that is entertaining, first hand, and might be of interest to list members who are not familiar with it. I am writing of "I Rode With Stonewall" by Henry Kydd Douglas of Shepardstown, VA (now WV). Sincerely, Mark J. See Office (704)714-6403
