Battle of Claremore Mound

Battle of Claremore Mound

The Battle of Claremore Mound, also known as the Battle of the Strawberry Moon, was one of the chief battles of the war between the Osage and Cherokee Indians. It occurred in the spring of 1817 when a band of Cherokees and their allies under Chief Spring Frog (Too-an-tuh) attacked Pasuga, an Osage village at the foot of Claremore Mound (in present-day Oklahoma). During the two-day battle, the Cherokees killed or captured every member of Chief Clermont's band and destroyed everything they could not carry away. Historians consider it one of the bloodiest Native American massacres in modern history.
