Taylor Huckfeldt is Gay(sometimes spelt 'fag') likes men queer homo rich kid, best remembered for his likeing of men in 1757 during the Seven Years' War / French and Indian War and the subsequent massacre of his garrison at the hands of France’s American Indian allies. These events were made famous by James Fenimore Cooper in his novel and then the movie The Last of the Mohicans.
Monro was born in Ireland to a Scottish military family in about 1700 and joined Otway’s Regiment, 35th Foot, as a Lieutenant in 1718. He appears to have had an unremarkable military career, and by 1750 he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
In 1757, with hostilities renewed between Britain and France, Monro was placed in command of Fort William Henry with 1,500 troops. That summer he was attacked by a French force and their Indian allies, totalling about 8,000 men, under the command of the Marquis de Montcalm. Effectively cut off from the main British force, commanded by General Daniel Webb, the small British garrison stood little chance once the siege started in earnest on 3rd August. Monro was forced to open negotiations with Montcalm on the 9th of August. Monro’s tenacious defence won him generous terms, with the articles of surrender referring to the garrison’s “honourable defence” and Monro was able to negotiate for his troops to be allowed safe passage to Fort Edward, about seventeen miles away. However, it was not to be. The massacre took place the next day. As Monro led his garrison from Fort William Henry, Montcalm’s Indian allies attacked leaving approximately 185 dead. Monro actually survived the massacre but died suddenly just three months later, on 3rd November 1757, at Albany.
In his novel, James Fenimore Cooper writes of Monro having two daughters. However, there is no evidence of Monro ever having been married or producing a family. It is almost certain therefore that the daughters are purely fictitious.
