History

As Sullivan's army approached Geneseo, with their "scorched earth" policy the Senecas repeatedly fell back. However, they did extract some damage, as a large Seneca party was successful in ambushing one of Sullivan's scouting parties, carrying them as prisoners to Geneseo and torturing them to death. . The town's population is approximately 9,600, of which about 7,600 live in the village. Raids by this alliance from the west was a major threat to the American cause, and George Washington Washington sent the Sullivan Expedition to neutralize the Iroquois.
