More details on Cromwell & Huntington, Long Island

Newsday has more details and probably a more accurate (locally) story. I should have checked Newsday first seeing as it's a Long Island story.

As for the historical accuracy, I'm not sure how many were killed, etc., but I do wonder if it was the Irishness or Catholicism that offended Cromwell more. I suspect the latter, which seems to have been overlooked in the discussion in Huntington.
