Wasn't that the one where Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner. I didn't want to look it up as I want to test my memory

This incident, the massacre, is also part of the plot of one of James Fenimore Cooper's novel featuring Natty Bumpo, one of which is The Last of the Mohicans. I think the name of the book is The Pathfinder.
