This is a comprehensive study of the life of Zebulon Butler, a
participant in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War,
and the intercolonial confrontations known as the Yankee-Pennamite
Wars. Butler migrated to Pennsylvania in 1769 and soon became the
military and civil leader of the Connecticut settlers in the
Wyoming Valley of Northeastern Pennsylvania. During the
Revolutionary War, he served in one of the most dangerous theatres
of the war--the isolated Susquehanna frontier of
Pennsylvania--where the struggling settlers were subject to
Indian-Tory attacks and the hostility of the Pennsylvania
government. After the war, Butler sought peace with the
Pennsylvania authorities and exercised a steadying influence on the
Wyoming community. When the longstanding land controversy between
Connecticut and Pennsylvania again erupted in civil war and sparked
a separate state movement encouraged by Ethan Allen, Butler
counseled peace and assisted Timothy Pickering in the establishment
of Luzerne County.
