About: La Grange expedition

An Entity of Type: military conflict, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The La Grange expedition was a search expedition carried out in the vicinity of Lagrange Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia in 1865. Led by Maitland Brown, the expedition searched for three settlers who had failed to return from an earlier exploring expedition. The three men were eventually found dead, having been speared and clubbed to death in their sleep by Indigenous Australians. A number of Indigenous people were subsequently killed by members of the expedition in a controversial incident that is often now referred to as the "La Grange Massacre", although the fairness of this term remains a matter of some debate.

  • Das La-Grange-Massaker oder auch La-Grange-Expedition genannt, war eine Suchexpedition, die im Jahr 1865 in unmittelbarer Nähe der La Grange Bay in Western Australia in der Kimberley-Region durchgeführt wurde. Angeführt wurde sie von Maitland Brown. Die Expedition suchte drei Siedler, die von einer früheren Expedition nicht zurückgekehrt waren. Vermutlich waren die drei Männer entweder durch Speere oder Keulen von Aboriginals getötet worden. Zahlreiche Aboriginals, darunter Frauen und Kinder, wurden darauffolgend von den Expeditionsteilnehmern in Auseinandersetzungen massakriert, die häufig als La-Grange-Massaker bezeichnet werden. (de)
