The Battle that History Forgot

Sideling Hill - April 1756 

Joe Luciano reenacting Captain Alexander Cubertson

at battle site in 1999 

Jean Lowry was captured by Delaware Indians at McCord's Fort,

which lead to the Battle of Sideling Hill three days later. 

After 3 years of captivity and slavery she      

  was freed and wrote a journal of her experience. 

Originally published in 1760, it soon became

rare and remained so until it was republished in 2008 by the

Conococheague Institute.

          Hayes Eschenmann began his search for the location

                of the battle in the early 1990's.  In 1997 he wrote his monograph

       identifying the site of the battle.
