Cyflafan Dyffryn y Merthyron - La Masacre del Valle de los Matires​ - The Massacre of the Valley of the Martyrs​​
Hanes Cyflafan Dyffryn William a Naid Malacara
Un o straeon mwyaf adnabyddus Y Wladfa yw hanes llofruddiaeth tri Chymro ifanc a oedd yn chwilio am aur yn 1884. Gan fod y Cymry cyntaf eisoes wedi ymgartrefu ym Mhatagonia ac wedi datblygu perthynas
​gyfeillgar gyda´r brodorion Tehuelchaidd, roedd y ffaith iddynt gael eu lladd gan rhai o´r brodorion hyn yn achos penbleth llwyr i bawb.
Ychydig iawn a wyddom am bwy oedd wedi lladd y gwŷr ifanc, am le yn union y digwyddodd y gyflafan, am y rhesymau y tu ôl i´r ymosodid ac am ddigwyddiadau´r diwrnodau cyn ac ar ôl y gyflafan. Elfen enwocaf y stori yw´r ffaith fod y pedwerydd aelod, John Daniel Evans, wedi dianc pan lwyddodd ei geffyl, Malacara, i neidio dros geunant dwfn lle nad oedd ceffylau´r ymosodwyr yn medru dilyn.
​Fe aeth John Daniel Evans ymlaen i arwain alltaith y “Rifleros” yn 1885, pan ddarganfuwyd Cwm Hyfryd. Ymgartrefodd yn Nhrevelin, ble´r oedd yn berchen ar un o felinau pwysicaf yr ardal.
Dyna´r cwbl a ŵyr am hanes y digwyddiad, tan i hen ddogfen ddod i´r fei yn Lloegr yn 2015...
​The Massacre in Dyffryn William and Malacara’s Jump
One of the best known stories in Welsh Patagonia is that of the murder by Tehuelche Indians in 1884 of 3 young Welshmen, searching their new land for gold. The fact that the Welsh settlement in Patagonia is celebrated as one of the first American settlements where the settlers learned to live with the local people, rather than exterminate them to take their lands, makes this tragic event all the more puzzling.
Hitherto, little was known of the identities of the Indians, the exact location where the murders took place, the reasons behind the attack and the events of the days leading up to and following the Massacre in Dyffryn William. Probably the only element of the story known by all is that the fourth member of the Welsh group, John Daniel Evans, escaped by urging his horse, Malacara, to jump into a canyon where the Indian horses were too frightened to follow.
John Daniel Evans went on to become the guide for the “Rifleros” expedition of 1885 that discovered Cwm Hyfryd and he subsequently settled in Trevelin and became one of region’s most important mill owners.
​For many people, visitors and locals alike, that was all they knew - that was until one day in 2015 when an undiscovered document came to light...
