[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from True Narrative of the Capture of David Ogden, Among the Indians: In the Time of the Revolution And of the Slavery and Sufferings He Endured, With an Account of His Almost Miraculous Escape After Several Years' Bondage With Eight Other Highly Interesting Stories of the Revolution, and Tales of Hunters Wanderings of Ogden's father and family, and final settlement in the wilds of the Susquehannah, but a short time prior to the Revolution. No roads in the country but the Indian trail or war path. Flight of the family, consisting of small children from a place near Huntsville, Otsego Co., N. Y. on account of the murders of Brant's Indians on the breaking out of the Revolution. Some unpublished particulars of the Cherry Valley massacre, which was related by Ogden. Kindness of an Indian, though belonging to Brant's party - to Ogden's father which saved the lives of the family, giving them time to escape. Finds a deserted log house in the woods where he placed his family, somewhere in the now town of Middlefield, Otsego Co., N. Y. Flight of the family a second time, occasioned by, the friendship of a Squaw - who warned them of Brant's plan to destroy Cherry Valley, which saved their lives. Attrocious behavior of the tory Foster, and his final end. Flight of Ogden's father's family a third time, in the midst of a snow storm, with several small children, one of whom was the hero of the following pages. Abuse of the family by a tory woman, during their flight, the father of Ogden not being with them at the time this was the evening of the day when Cherry Valley was cut off. Ogden, the subject of the narrative, enlists in the army as a volunteer, when but fourteen years old, on the Mohawk.

His capture by a party of Indians and tories, a 150 in number, under the immediate command of Brant, while guarding some choppers in the woods of Fort Stanwix, in the heart of winter. Horrible death of one of their number - their sufferings from cold and hunger - wading of the Mohawk, when frozen at the shores. Humorous trick of Brant, played off on the prisoners - their fears of being burnt - terrible yelling of the Indians, on account of prisoners taken. Encamp m Oneida castle - their breaking up in the night, and flight from some cause unknown to the prisoners. The hats of the prisoners taken from them and their places supplied by as many Raccoon skins, out of which they made caps in a singular way.
