Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The soldiers went to Philadelphia with the wagons they had seized from the farmers. Rancke returned to Earlingtown. Elisabeth Franck took leave of the school, her mother needs her at home. Between 2 and 3 o’clock in the afternoon 20 or more men came, all on horseback, riding up the open street to the Court-house, turned their horses around from time to time, went then to the Prison and forced the door where the Manour-Land Indians were and murdered all of them, there were 14 of them.
