The Princetown Massacre

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by IVAN BENBROOK
During the Napoleonic Wars
Britain was also at war with the USA. With the ebbing of that conflict in 1815 there were large numbers of American prisoners of war - mostly sailors and merchant seamen - held at
Dartmoor. Their restive desire to return home led to bitter conflict with the local administration - and to tragedy. Narrator NICK CHILVERS
Producer BRIAN MILLER. BBCBristol
