This unforgettable production sweeps you back in history
to a time when Ohio was the western frontier of America, to witness the
founding of Ohio’s first settlement, Schoenbrunn, in 1772. Historical
characters include David Zeisberger, a M o r a v i a n missionary who
hoped to establish a peaceful Indian settlement along the fiery frontier;
Simon Girty, a conniving border renegade who agitated
for all-out war in the region; Captain Pipe, a young warrior chief whose
hatred of all white men for the killing of his father added to the dangers
facing the missionaries; and John Heckewelder, one of the first explorers
of the “Ohio country”.
When the Revolutionary War broke out, Zeisberger and his
followers found themselves caught between the British army at Fort Detroit
and the American forces at Fort Pitt. By refusing to take sides in the
struggle, Zeisberger and his people incurred the wrath of both warring
parties, which eventually led to the brutal massacre of 96 Christian Indians
at Gnadenhutten in 1782 by a band of American militiamen, an event former
President and noted historian Teddy Roosevelt called “a stain on
the frontier character that time cannot wash away.
