A Memory of a Cruel Colonial War f

■j uJ centuries and a halt behind us the French and the British we*e at war, each
iy , ng f c r mastery over the New World, or such part of the New World as the geograph
a ’ thc time included in the debatable spheres of influence over which these two peoples
r ns iand of today and the Lower Canada of today. Thus it befell that the brunt of
i ? shivering o» border warfare descended upon the colonists of both nations. Their
,' . ht was the greater since neither side ueglected to enlist as allies such red savages as
P " , r iendly to its cause.
[n the first ol these so-called French and Indian wars, the Indian auxiliaries of the
} s c ,own turned whole sections of the present state of Massachusetts into a veritable
Raiding parties of tribesmen fell upon what then were among the most populous
cultivated sections of the English possessions and murdered and massacred and
a d burnt end ravaged at will. Thriving towns were attacked; isolated settle*
were destroyed utterly; and many a settler’s homestead was wiped out and went
.. - bramble, while the bones of its hardy owner and his family moldered in the
‘ 4 ruins of their cabin. A worse fate was reserved for hundreds of whites who fell
: nto ; e hands of the painted marauders. The lucky among them became the slaves of
. i masters; the less fortunate died of privation or what still was worse, died by
- . the stoke after hideous torments at the hands of their merciless enemies.
\ certain jour.g frontiersman, named Quintin Stockweli, who endured such a
„ us captivity, later gave the story of his experience as an illuminating contribution
tc th: early history of what now is our own nation. We would call him an American, but
he .ink d himself as being as English as though he had been born and bred overseas
iB t he mother country. The reader of his narrative, as printed in full in the nearby col
uid bear in tr.ind therefore that when this chronicler speaks of his compatriots as
£,,, . '.mm he generally means his fellcw-inhabitants of the young colonies. A hundred
must elapse before the English-speaking pecple on this continent would break away
from the crown and by winning the Revolution set up the first experimental republic of the
western hemisphere.
! ope Quintin StockwelPs straightforward account of his captivity may move the
reader as it moved me when I found it in an old and rusty volume in the New York
public library. 1 am quite sure the reader will be glad to know that, having been ran
somed from his Indian owners by a kind-hearted Frenchman, this poor refugee was nursed
bac b r 0 health and eventually permitted to return to New England where he peacefully
lived and peacefully died.
HKRE is his narrative exactly
as Quintin Stockweli set R
down—spelling and all:
In i he year 1G77, September 19,
between Sunset and dark, the In
dians came upon us; I and another
Man, being together, vve ran away
at the outcry the Indians made, shout
ing and shooting at some other of the
English that were hard by. We took
a Swamp that was at hand for our
refuge, the Enemy espying us so near
them run after us and shot many
Guns at us, three Guns were dis
charged upon me the Enemy being
within three Rod of me, besides rnanj
other before that. Being in this
Swamp that was miry, I slumpt in
and fell down, whereupon one of the •
Enemy stept to me with his Hatchet
lift up to knock me on the head, sup
posing that I had been wounded and
so unlit for any other travel.
A Terrifying Midnight Journey.
I (as it hapned) had a Pistol by me
which though uncharged I presented
to the Indian, who presently stept
back; and told me if I would yield
I should have no hurt, he said (which
was not true) that they had destroyed
all Hatfield, and that the woods were
full of Indians, whereupon I yielded
myself and so fell into the Enemies
hands, and by three of them was led
away unto the plac6 whence first I
began to make my flight, where two
other Indians came running to us, and
the one lifting up the Butt end of his
Guo to knock me on the head, the
other with his hand put by the blow
• and said I was bis Friend. I was
now by my own House which the In
dians Jiurnt last year and I was about
to buiM up again, and there I had
gome hopes _to them;
there was an Horse just by, which
they bid me take, I did so but made
no attempt to escape thereby, because
the Enemy was near and ins Beast
was slow and dull, then was I in
hopes they would send me to take my
own Horses, which they did, but they
were so frightened that I could not
come near to them, and so fell still
into the Enemies hands, who now took
me and bound me and led me away,
and soon was I brought into the Com
pany of Captives that were that day
brought away from Hatfield which
were about a mTle off j qnfl hejJ’
thoughts was maHer^of joy mnd sor
row : y,a to see the Company; some
Company in this condition being some
refreshing; though little help any
wave-;; then were we pinioned and
led aw. in the night over the Moun
tain-;. dark and hideous wayes,
our miles further, before we
took up an place for rest, which was
a a dismal place of Wood on the
Cast -of that Mountain. We were
kept hound all that night.
dhe Indians kept waking and we
bad little mind to sleep in this nights
travel, the Indians dispersed, and as
t’iey went made strange noises, as of |
Wolves and Ovvles, and other Wild
beasts, to tlte end that they might
mn lose one another; and if followed
l hey mi-ht uot be discovered by the
English.
Che Dance of Death.
the break of Day we
marched again and got over tire great
1VL ‘ r at I’ecomptuck River mouth,
aud there rested about two hours
|hcre the Indians marked out upon
the number of their Captives
a:ul Slain as their manner is. Here
was I again in great danger; A quar
le* i,r '-*se about me, whose Captive 1
xvas ’ liir three took me. I thought 1
niust be killed to end the controversy,
So frben they put it to me, whose 1
Mus; 1 said three Indians took me so
i le y ; agreed to have -all a share in
nie : and I had now three Masters,
and ue was my chief Master who' laid'
-'aiHis cm me first, and thus was 1
tailea into the hands of the very
Worst °f all the Company; as Ash
pelm the Indian Captain told me;
‘b-'b Captain was all along very kind
T ° nie > and a great comfort to the
English.
from hence we wept up about the
ail ; s * where we crost that River
again; and whilst I was going, I fell
down lame of my old Wounds
l l,l ' * bad in the War, and whilest
' Was thinking I should therefore be
killed by the Indians, and what Death
I should die, my pain was suddenly
gone, and I was much encouraged
again. We had about eleven Horses
in that Company, which the Indians
made to carry Burthens, and to carry
\\ omen. It was afternoon when we
now crossed that River.
We traveled up that River till night,
and then took up our Lodging in a dis
mal place and were staked down and
spread out on our backs; and so we
lay all night, yea so we lay many
nights. They told me their Law was
that we should lie so nine nights, and
by that time it was thought we should
be out ol our knowledge. The manner
of staking down was thus: our Arms
and Legs stretched out were staked
down fast, and a Cord about our
necks, so that we could stir no wayes.
The first night of staking down, be
ing much tired, I slept as comfortably
as ever; the next day we went up the
River and crossed it, and at night lay
in Squakheag Meadows; our Provision
was soou spent; and while we lay in
those Meadows the Indians went an
Hunting and the English Army came
out after us; then the Indians moved
again, dividing themselves and the
Captives into many Companies, that
the English might not follow tlieit
tract. At night having crossed the
River, we met again at the place ap
pointed. The next day we crost the
River again on Squakheag side, and
there we took up our quarters for a
long time, I suppose this might be
about thirty miles above Squakheag.
and here were the Indians quite oul
of all fear of the English; but in
great fear of the Mohawks; here they
built a long Wigwam. Here they had
a great Dajnce (as they call it) and
concluded to burn three of us, and
had got Bark to do it with, and as
I understood afterwards, I was ont

That night I could not sleep for fea<
of next dayes work, but the Indians
being weary with tliut Dance, lax
down to sleep, and slept soundly.
An Escape Causes Consternation.
The nexT day when we were to hr
olir Muster and some others
spake tis, and the Evil waT pie
vented in this place. Ah J hereabouts
we lay three together. Here i had a
Shirt brought to me to make, and one
Indian said it should be made No
way. a second another way, a third
his way. I told them I would makt
it that way that my chief Mastet
said; Whereupon one Indian struck
me on the face with his Fist. I sud
denly rose up in anger ready to strike
again, upon this hapned a great Hub
bub, and the Indian* and Englis!
came about me; I was fain to humble
myself to my Master so that mattei
was put tip Before I came to this
place my three Masters were gone a
hunting. 1 was left with anothei
Indian, all the Company being upon
a March, I was left with this Indian
who fell sick, so that I was fain te*
carry his Gun and Hatchet, mid had
opportunity, and bad thought to have
dispatched him and run away; but
did not, for that the English Captives
had promised the contrary to one an
other, because if one should run away
that would provoke the Indians and
indanger the rest that could not run
away.
Whilest we were here. Benjamin
Stebbins going with some Indians t»
Wachuset Hills, made his escape from
them, and when the news of his es
cape came we were ail presently
called in and Bound, one of the In
deans a Captain among A hem. and al
ways our great Friend, met me com
ing in and told me Stebbins wa.s run
away; and the Indians spake of burn
ing us; some of only burning aud bit
ing off our Fingers by and by.
He said there would be a Court, and
all would speak their minds, but lie
would speak last and would say that
the Indian that let Stebbins run away
was only in fault and so no hurt
should be done us, fear not; so it
proved accordingly. Whilest we lin
gered hereabouts, Provision grew

scarce, one Bears Foot must serve
five of us a whole day ; we began to
eat Horse-flesh, and eat up seven in
all: three were left alive and were
not killed. Whilest we had been here
some of the Indians had been down
and fallen upon Hadley and were tak
en by the English, agreed with, and
let go again . . . then we parted
into two Companies; some went one
way and pome went another way; and
we went over a mighty Mountain, we
were eight dayes going over it, and
travelled very hard, and every day we
had either Snow or Rain.
We noted that on this Mountain all
the Water run Northward. . . .
All the Indians went a Hunting but
could get nothing: divers dayes they
I’owowed bul got nothing, then they
desired the English to I’ray, and con
fessed they could do nothing; they
would have us Pray, and see what the
English-man’s God could do. I Prayed,
so did Sergeant Plimpton, in another
place. The Indians reverently attend
ed, Morning and Night: next day they
got Bears: then they would needs
have us desire a Blessing, return
Thanks at Meals: after a while they
grew weary of it and the Sachim did
forbid us ... as soon as it was
light I and Samuel Russel went before
on the lee, upon a River, they said I
must go where I eouid on foot, else
I should frieze. ,
One Man Is Worth Fourteen Beavers.
Six miles of Shamblee (a French
Town) the River was open and when
I came to travail in that part of the
Ice I soon tired; and two Indians run
away to Town and one only was left;
he would carry me a few rods, and
then I would go as many, and that
trade we drave, and so were long a
going six miles. This Indian now was
kind, and told me that if be did not
carry me I would die, and so I should
have done sure enough; And he said
I must tell the English how he helped
me. When we came to the first House
there was no Inhabitant: the Indian
spent, both discouraged; he said we
must now both die; at last be left me
alone and got to another House, and
thence came some French and Indians
and brought me in: The French were
kind and put my hands and feet in
cold water and gave me a Dram of
Brandey and a little hasty pudding
and Milk; when I tasted Victuals I
was hungry and could not have for
born It, but that I could not get it;
now and then they would give me a
little as they thought best for me.
I lay by the fire with the Indians |
that night, but could not sleep for
pain: next morning the Indians and
French fell out about me. The French
presently turned the Indians 'out of
doors and kept me, they were very
kind and careful and gave me a little
something cow and then; while I was
here ail the Men in that Town came
to see me ... it being Christmas
time, they brought Cakes and other
Provisions with them, and gave to me.
so that I had no want. The Indians
tried to cure me but could not, then
I asked for the Chirurgeon, at which
one of the Indians in anger struck me
on the face with his Fist, a French
man being by, the Frenchman spake
to him, I knew not what he said, and
went his way. By and by came the
Captain of the place into the Wigwam j
with about twelve armed Men and.
asked where the Indian was* that
struck the Englishman, and took him
and told him lie should go to the Bil
boes, and then be hanged. ... 1
spake to the Captain by an Interpre
ter and told him I desired him to set j
the Indian free, and told him what he
had done for me; he told me he was
a Rogue and should be hanged; then
I spake more privately, alledging this
Reason, because all the English Cap
tives were not come, if he were
hanged it might fare the worse with
them; then the Captain said that was

T perceived that the common Peo
ple did not like what the Indians naa
done to the English. . . . The next
day the Chirurgeon came again and
dressed me; and so he did all the
while I was among the French, 1
came in at Christmas and went thence
May 2d. Being thus in the Captain’s
house I was kept there till Beu. Waite
came: & my Indian Master being in
want of Money, pawned me to the
Captain for 14 Beavers, or the worth
of them, at such a day; if he did not
pay he must lose his Pawn or else
sell me for twenty one Beavers, but
he could not get Beaver and so I was
sold. . • •

Octopus Employed as
Miner and Fisherman
The octopus was originally used for
the purpose of bringing up coal from
the bottom of the sea dropped by
passing boats, and like the camel and
the elephant, when hoisted in midair
by a crane violently protested against
the indignity of such treatment. Tin?
octopus objected to the sensation of
suspension, and when it touched
ground struck out in all directions,
and so contrived to entangle- in its
tentacles every species of marine life,
thus performing the double role ol
miner and fisherman. And when the
domestic goose was made to assume
the functions of angler, it brought to
the trade its own fishing rods, as the
baited tackle was merely attached to
its legs; and during the process ol
providing its own food, it unconscious
ly and without much effort or incon
venience helped its owner to amuse
and entertaii his friends, for in those
remote and unsophisticated days this
form of entertaining guests was as
much a convention as It was a high
compliment.

There is now some six or seven
hundred bushels of Lespedeza seed
grown in the county available for
sale. Mr. T. R. Green harvested some
80 bushels of seed this fall, some of
this seed being of the Korean Varie
ty. It is reported that Mr. Cicero
Johnswn and others in the Big Mea

of -seed. Quite a number of other
farmers in the county also saved seed
this fall.
Mr. C. H. Brannon, Extension En
tomologist, was a visitor in the coun
ty this week, assisting the County
Agent in holding farmer’s meetings
in the communities of Gum Springs,
Bynum and Hickory Mountain. Mr.
Brannon is assisting the county
agent in boll weevil control work,
and as a result o_f meetings held and
visits made during his stay, quite a
number of Chatham farmers will
use the dust poison method for con
trol of the boll weevil this year.

LESPEDEDA AGAIN
It’s Lespedeza time, and indica
tions point to the seedimg of the lar
gest crop in the history of the county.
Probably all farmers in the county
are now well acquainted with the
merits of Lespedeza, but something
has yet to be found that will equal it
for pasture and soil improvement.
Over five hundred Chatham farm
erss have seeded Lespedeza without
a single failure. It needs no lime or
inculation and will grow and thrive
on our poorest soils. It not only adds
value plant food to your soil, furni
shes good pasture and can be cut for
hay, but it also holds our soils to
gether. Lespedeza really deserves
the quotation, “A Saver of Soils and
a Friend to the Farmer”. It can be
truly said to be a poor mans crop.
The seed are cheap, It is easy to get
a good stand, and on fair to medium
lands, good yields of hay can be ob
tained. Lespedeza is seeded in Jan
uary, February or March on small
grain or alone. Best results are ob
tained by drilling on small grain, but
it can be broadcasted.
The demand this year for Lesped
eza seed is strong, and bad weather
prevented the harvesting of a normal
crop. The County Agent has seed
booked for sl6 per 100 pounds, and
would like to hear from farmers who
intend to seed Lespedeza.
AN ACRE OF PASTURE FOR
EVERY COW IN CHAT
HAM COUNTY?
For every dairy cow in Chatham
there should be an acre of improved
pasture. We cannot expect our cows
to produce as they should on native
pasture, which is either too scanty,
or does not contain the proper mix
ture of grasses and clover to support
dairy cattle. Regardless of whether
or not we are in the dairy business,
whether we only keep one or two
cows for family use, or whether we
keep a few head of pearlings for
beef cattle, they should have the pro
per pasture mixture. Experiments
conducted by dairymen in various
parts of this state have shown that
prepared pastures give their owner
profits varying from sls to SSO per
acre per season in the increased pro
duction of their coxys on these pas
tures, and the lessening of grain
feed required while |he cows are on
these pastures.
The County Agent is now making
preparations to order seed for pas
ture grasses and clovers, and much
can be saved by ordering in large
I
i DOINGS OF |

FARMERS |

POULTRY, I
ETC. I
amounts. The following mixture of
grasses and clovers will furnish a
good permanent pasture, and will
grow and thrive anywhere in this
county. The price of the seed is also
listed;
4 pounds Kentucky Blue Grass s2l
per 100 pounds.
5 pounds Orchard Grass sls per
100 pounds. •
5 pounds Herds Grass sl7 per
100 pounds.
5 pounds Alsike Clover $20.50
per 100 pounds.
5 pounds White Dutch Clover $24
per 100 pounds.
6 pounds Lespedeza sl6 per 100
pounds.
Total seed per acre 30 pounds.
Cost per acre for seed $5.62 (less
freight).
This mixture may be seeded in
late January, February or early
March, alone or on fall-seeded grain
or spring oats. We are recommend
ing at least 1000 pounds of ground
limestone per acre with these mix
tures and 300-400 pounds of Acid
Phosphate. On small grain, the seed
may be drilled on the grain; to seed
alone, the ground may be harrowed
lightly as soon as the weather per
mits, and the seed drilled or broad
casted. The seed can then be brushed
in lightly. These pasture mixtures re
quire a firm, rather than a loose
seed bed.
There are three main benefits re
sulting from the seeding of improved
pastures that will be well for us to
consider; first, a prepared pasture
enables your cows to produce more
milk with less feed; second, pastures
hold soils together and prevent
washing; third, pastures, are constant
ly enriching the soil. There are thous
ands of acres in this county lying
idle that could be at least paying
their owners taxes through the seed
ing of pastures. Soils of this county
are especially adapted to pasture
production.
i The County Agent would like to
hear from all farmers interested in
j seeding perpared pastures sometime
| within the next thirty days.

OLD SHAFT AT CUMNOCK
MINE WILL BE ABANDONED
(Sanford Express)
Mr. John R. McQueen, president
of the company operating the coal
mine at Coal Glen, and who has also
‘ bought the Cumnock mine, tells The
Express that the company plans to
abandon the old shaft, use it as an
[ airway and enter the mine by a slop
, ing shaft, similar to the operations
at the Coal Glen mine. The cost of
operating the Cumnock .mine by the
i old method is too great. Less than a
* ton of coal can be pulled up the slop
at Coal Glen at a single “draw.”
There is still considerable water in
the Cumnock mine and it is not being
pumped out at this time.
Operations at the Coal Glen mine
are almost normal. For some time
the company has been taking out
; about 150 tons a day. Mr. McQueen
* tells The Express that they expect
, | to soon be taking out 200 to 250 tons
a day. The matter concerning insur- ;
; ance at the mine, of which mention
■ was made in this paper last week,
, has not been settled by the State
s Industrial Commission.
