The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will host a presentation titled " 'Massacre of the Conestogas' Updated" when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14, in the Millersville Borough Administration & Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 9:15 a.m.

The speaker will be Jack Brubaker, author and retired journalist who penned the local "Scribbler" newspaper column for 46 years.

Brubaker will examine material related to the Conestoga Massacre that came to light in his book "Massacre of the Conestogas," which was published in 2010. This includes new information, such as a meeting between the Paxton Boys and Lancaster's chief magistrate Edward Shippen on the night before the massacre at Indian Town in Manor Township and an adjusted idea of where the Conestogas killed at the Lancaster Workhouse were buried. A question-and-answer period will close the presentation.

Brubaker, who works as a freelance writer and lecturer, has talked about his books and subjects to more than 200 groups in central Pennsylvania and elsewhere. He is the author of seven books, including "Down the Susquehanna to the Chesapeake," which The Washington Post named one of the best books of 2002. A resident of Manor Township, the Bird-in-Hand native is a graduate of Conestoga Valley High School and Dickinson College.

Admission is free, and donations are appreciated. For more details, contact Phil Gerber at 717-872-8837 before noon or at pge8507@aol.com.
