In another attack, March 30, 1778, Moses, then a lieutenant, a cousin, and Peter Pence were taken prisoners. Moses’ father and brother and uncle were killed and scalped. The Indians hurried the three captives to a point near Wyalusing Flats, where the three made their escape from ten warriors in one of the most daring adventures ever recorded in frontier history. Van Campen had procured a large knife during the night he released the other prisoners, they grabbed the rifles and in a moment three of the Indians were tomahawked and as the other awoke they were instantly shot, when in a hand-to-hand combat the whites killed three of the remaining four, the tenth Indian making good his escape.

UPDATE: Statement from ATK:

ATK is a strong supporter of our armed forces, the shooting sports industry, second amendment rights and all of our customers who choose to reload ammunition. In fact, ATK is a leader in the reloading market. A dated brochure and presentation have caused confusion in the marketplace and do not reflect the views of our company and will be immediately withdrawn. As a service to our military customers, we routinely handle demil operations for various munitions and respond to requests from military installations for reclamation and recycling of military items. Each contract is awarded through the military installation’s procurement process. The installations received fair value for the brass.

ATK fully supports the provision passed by Congress last year to ensure that demilitarized spent brass casings remain available for civilian use.

Interestingly enough — only three of those months are part of the encampment. The bulk of these men were men who were formerly from British regiments or had lived in America a relatively short time.
