Excerpt from True Indian Stories: With Glossary of Indiana Indian Names

By this time the efiorts of the English to get control of the fur' trade had become more serious, and they, too, had enlisted In dian allies both in the north and. In the south. First came the disastrous Chickasaw cam paign of 1736, in which Vincennes lost his life; and after that intermittent warfare till the close of the French and Indian war. In all this the fighting was outside of our re gion, and not till the British sought to take possession of the Northwest was it brought back in Pontiac's war. Again there was comparative quiet until the war of the Revo lution, which inaugurated the contest of the American and the Indian in this section for the occupancy of the soil. Of the period then beginning I have sought to present some authentic stories in the following pages. It would require volumes to present a full record of individual adventure, but I have aimed to give some illustrations of va rions phases of the contest, of battles and massacres, of hardships, of white and Indian captivity.
