| The Historical Narrative of George Edgington, Peter Henry's Account, The Narrative of Spencer Records, The Reminiscences of Stephen Burkham - edited by Jared C. Lobdell. These four colorful first-hand accounts read like adventure stories. The Historical Narrative of George Edgington (1845) is important for it's treatment of Lewis Wetzel and Samuel Brady, two of the greatest scouts at that time. The second, Peter Henry's Account (1850), is important for the dramatic retelling of Peter Henry's capture by the Indians in 1779 and his and his sister's rescue by Captain Brady. The Narrative of Captain Spencer Records (1842) covers the Revolution and the ten years following on the frontier. The final narrative, The Recollections of Stephen Burkam (1845), recounts both sieges of Wheeling in detail. 111 pages index Paper |
