8 JULY 1774, PITTSBURGH: John Connolly, Virginia’s chief magistrate in the region, sends a message to the Shawnee demanding they apprehend Chief Logan and his war party, and any others who “committed murder last winter.”
The arrested warriors, and any prisoners taken in their raids, must be delivered to Virginia authorities, or else Virginia will “proceed against them with Vigour & will show them no Mercy.”
