Author: Forrest, Ed. L.
Date: November 19, 1892
First Sentence: In one of the numerous raids of the Indian hoards upon the frontier, during the bloody period of the Revolution-excursions that left many a hearth stone dismal and gloomy-two brothers named respectively George and Wallace Arthur, after almost desperate resistance, and after seeing their aged parents ruthlessly butchered and scalped by their inhuman assailants, were finally overpowered and taken prisoners, to be reserved, probably, for a future fate more horrible than their parents had met.
Last Sentence: Subsequently they fell in with a party of whites, and eventually reached a settlement, and as soon as George had fully recovered, they both went forth in the woods to fulfill the oath of vengeance they had vowed against the Indian race.
