War Cries on the Frontier

 

Nothing on the colonial frontier brought more fear to the hearts of the Europeans than the war cries of 

a Native American war party. Armed with both traditional and European weapons, decked out in warpaint, these Mohawk braves, were rightfully feared by their enemies. 

War parties specialized in swift hit and run raids and ambush attacks. Throughout the 18th century, only the foolish or the dead ignored the threat of a war party raid.
