To terrorize the valley from Tunbridge to Royalton, nearly 300 Indians led by a British officer attacked these defenseless frontier settlements, killing 4 people, taking 26 prisoners, and reducing Royalton to ashes. The captives hauled back to Canada were sold for $8.00 a head. This was the most calamitous of Vermont's many Indian raids.
