Pigeon Roost State Historic Site
On September 3, 1812, a small party of Indians (mostly Shawnee, but possibly including some Delawares and Potawatomis) led by Missilimetaw (or Missilemotaw), made a surprise attack on the village, which appeared to be coordinated with attacks on Fort Harrison (near Terre Haute, Indiana) and Siege of Fort Wayne the same month.[2] In all, twenty-four settlers, including fifteen children, were killed, and two children were taken. Only four of the Native American party were killed.
