Forgive me for my ignorance, but how can this possibly be claimed as the first battle of the Revolution? The battle was fought between American Indians and Virginia militia, and later on, a joint militia-British Regular task force. I really don't think that the claim can be justified by any standards. --

The sentence you removed about this being the first battle of the Revolution was added recently by a vandal. The claim dates from a strange, old conspiracy theory that Dunmore was actually working in collusion with the Indians against the Virginians, which seemed plausible to contemporary Virginians because Dunmore became public enemy #1 very soon after this battle. —

Agreed with Grahamdubya. This battle cannot possibly be declared the first of the American Revolution. It was one of many brushfires between colonists in America and the Natives. By that reasoning, we could say any previous encounter between colonists and Indians was the first of the Revolution. The colonies were fighting for the crown in this engagement by protecting the land against the Natives. How can it be the first battle against British forces (thus the first of the Revolution), if it was fought for the Crown? (
