Enoch Brown school massacre, School massacre in Pennsylvania
The Enoch Brown school massacre is considered one of the most notorious incidents of the Pontiac's War.
On July 26, 1764, four Delaware American Indians entered the schoolhouse near present-day Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and killed the schoolmaster and ten children.
This event is a contributing factor to the Paxton Boys uprising and has significantly affected settler-Indian relations of the time.
A monument honoring the victims now stands at the site of the massacre.
Enoch Brown was reportedly spared initially, left for dead with a tomahawk wound to his head but tried speaking to save his students.
