**
Gertrude of Wyoming; A Pennsylvanian Tale
(1809) is a romantic epic in
Spenserian stanza
composed by Scottish poet
Thomas Campbell
(1777–1844).
The poem was well received, but not a financial success for its author.
The setting of the poem is the
Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania
and the
massacre
that occurred there on July 3, 1778. On that day, more than three hundred American Revolutionaries died at the hands of
Loyalists
and their
Iroquois
allies.
