Battle of Galudoghson

1742 skirmish between Indians and Virginia settlers

The Battle of Galudoghson took place in December 1742, at a site near present-day Glasgow, Virginia, when the Augusta County militia engaged in combat with Onondaga and Oneida Indians. These warriors had traveled to Virginia from Pennsylvania under the command of a Haudenosaunee chief named Jonnhaty, to participate in a campaign against the Catawba.
