August 1779 CE

The Continental Army had sent three thousand troops into upstate New York in late August, destroying every Iroquois village in their path.

Daniel Brodhead has followed the Allegheny River into New York, driving the Seneca from their homes.

Most of the warriors are away fighting the Sullivan Expedition in New York, and Brodhead meets little resistance in destroying the heart of the Seneca nation.
