Note 1326 — Chapter VIII · (continued 2)

The book, which is very rare, was published at Lexington, Ky., in 1799. (Field, Ind. Bibliog., no. 1,438; Thomson, Bibliog. of Ohio, 1,055.) It was reprinted in Cincinnati, in 1870 “with an appendix of illustrative notes by W. M. Darlington,” as no. 5 of the Ohio Valley Historical Series. (Field, no. 1,440.) It was reprinted at Philad. in 1831, since dated 1834. (Brinley, iii. 5,570.) The author published an abstract of it in his Treatise on the mode and manner of Indian war, Paris, Ky., 1812. (Field, no. 1,439.) Parkman calls the earlier book “perhaps the best of all the numerous narratives of captives among the Indians.”
