The Big Runaway was a mass evacuation in June and July 1778 of settlers from the frontier areas of north central Pennsylvania during the American Revolutionary War. A major campaign by Loyalists and Native Americans allied with the British devastated the small communities on the northern and western branches of the Susquehanna River, prompting local militia leaders to order the evacuation. Most of the settlers relocated to Fort Augusta at modern-day Sunbury at the confluence of the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna River, while their abandoned houses and farms were all burnt.

  • La Big Runaway (en français : « la grande fuite »), est un évènement qui se produisit en été 1778, pendant la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis, lorsque les colonies situées dans la vallée du fleuve Susquehanna en Pennsylvanie, furent attaquées par des Loyalistes et des Amérindiens alliés des Britanniques. Il s'ensuivit une évacuation en masse des colons vers , au confluent des branches nord et ouest du Susquehanna, qui résulta en la destruction de leurs fermes abandonnées, qui furent incendiées. (fr)
