 THE YELLOW CREEK MASSACRE AND THE TRUE PERPETRATORS Colleague Robert G. Parkinson. This segment details the chaotic environment following the British withdrawal from Fort Pitt, which created a power vacuum and a border war between Pennsylvania and Virginia. Amidst this tension, the Yellow Creek massacre occurred on April 30, 1774, where settlers lured Logan's family—including his mother, brother, and sister—into a tavern and murdered them. Parkinson confirms that Michael Cresap was not present during the slaughter; he had retreated to Catfish Campdays earlier. The actual perpetrators were men like Daniel Greathouse, not the Cresaps, though Logan remained unaware of this. NUMBER 3
