View comments (edit) The article as it now reads, seems to bear a clear bias on the European side of the conflict, most notably in the section "the siege" where the passage ""Meanwhile, Delaware and Shawnee war parties raided deep into the Pennsylvania settlements, taking captives and killing unknown numbers of men, women, and children. Panicked settlers fled eastwards." appears, with its ambiguous and suggestive wording, and no apparent citation. Also in the section on "blankets with smallpox" the suggestion that "the disease may have been spread to the Indians by native warriors returning from attacks on infected white settlements" appears to be mostly conjecture. In this humble opinion the entire article needs a complete overhaul to bring it up to any standard higher than bigoted antiquity. Mr-doobs (talk) 07:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
