A series of events at West Virginia state parks and historical sites will revisit the significance of Dunmore s War, a struggle that took place in 1774 between Virginia militiamen and Native American tribes of the Ohio River Valley in what is now West Virginia, setting the stage for Revolutionary War struggles on the western frontier. The events will include living history interpreter Doug Wood, who will portray Thomas Ingles, the son of Mary Draper Ingles, who, at age 4, was abducted with his mother by the Shawnee in 1755 at Draper s Meadows, Virginia.
