They burned cabins, killed and scalped the men, carried off the women, children and household goods, regained their ca- noes and ascended the river before they could be overtaken by the soldiers or aroused settlers. It was almost impos- sible for regular troops to accomplish anything in this kind of predatory warfare. The movements of the Indians were secret and swift. Except when snow was on the ground, they usually left no trail that could be followed save by the most experienced woodsman. Th...e spring and early sum- mer of 1779 present a terrible record of Indian depredations on the border, and the northern portion of Westmoreland county, between the Forbes road (nearly the present line of the Pennsylvania railroad) and the Kiskiminetas river, was almost depopulated.
