After the massacre, a trial was held to determine what happened on that day and who was to blame for the deaths. Along with Captain Preston’s deposition, witnesses were gathered and each one gave his or her account of what they saw. ...
Most all of the persons questioned maintained that they had not heard Captain Preston give any order to fire, however many stated that he had ordered the soldiers to “prime and load”.
