Description
Excerpt from Simon Girty; "The White Savage" (So Called by Heckewelder, Moravian Missionary): A Romance of the Border
But few words are needed to explain the purpose of the following work. For nearly a score of years Simon Girty figured with a bad preeminence on our Western Border. From his renegade ?ight from Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh), in I 778, down to Mad Anthony Wayne's battle of the Fallen Timbers in I 794, when the power and coherence of the Ohio Indian tribes were forever broken, Girty and his brothers were the scourge of the border. The dreaded name was a terror in every frontier cabin, the mere mention of which would cause woman's cheek to blanch and children's hair to stand with fear.
