2018 Battlefield Pennsylvania: Fort McCord and the Battle of Sideling Hill

On April 1, 1756, Delaware Indians killed or kidnapped 27 settlers and burned Fort McCord. A militia was organized to track them down. The militia caught up with them three days later, only to be counterattacked by a second group of Indians, resulting in 20 wounded and 20 killed, including Captain Alexander Culbertson, company commander.
