WEIRTON — Local attorney Michael Nogay will present a detailed PowerPoint review of a local event that garnered worldwide attention.

The special presentation is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. July 19 at the Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center.

Nogay will speak on the unsolved murders at Baker’s Tavern, a massacre in which Chief Logan’s family was murdered.

The event occurred in what is now Hancock County, happening near the area of the Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort.

The murders presaged the start of Lord Dunmore’s War between the British and the Indian tribes of the Shawnee and Mingo Indians in 1774.

This subsequently would lead to the American Revolution in 1776.

Various authors, including future president Thomas Jefferson, blame a man named Cresap for the murders.

However, subsequent evidence pointed to a group led by the Greathouse brothers.

Nogay’s book, entitled, “Every Home a Fort, Every Man a Warrior,” has sold more than 5,000 copies in hardbound and soft-cover editions, according to museum officials.

His book has also earned Nogay a West Virginia History Hero award from former West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.

West Virginia University Press called the book ” … refreshing (and) an extremely valuable history for communities in the region.”

Those who are interested in hearing Nogay’s presentation can visit the Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center, located at 3149 Main St., free of charge.

Organizers announced although the museum does not charge for its programs, donations are accepted and welcome in covering expenses.

Light refreshments will be served.

The museum will welcome novelist Dan E. Hobbs to serve as its next author, scheduled at 11 a.m. on July 26.
