Reading edition
Gordon, Hist. Penn. Appendix. Bard, Narrative.
“Several small parties went on to different parts of the settlements: it happened that three of them, whom I was well acquainted with, came from the neighborhood of where I was taken from—they were young fellows, perhaps none of them more than twenty years of age,—they came to a school-house, where they murdered and scalped the master, and all the scholars, except one, who survived after he was scalped, a boy about ten years old, and a full cousin of mine. I saw the Indians when they returned home with the scalps; some of the old Indians were very much displeased at them for killing so many children, especially Neeppaugh-whese, or Night Walker, an old chief, or half king,—he ascribed it to cowardice, which was the greatest affront he could offer them.”—M’Cullough, Narrative.
Extract from an anonymous Letter—Philadelphia, August 30, 1764:
“The Lad found alive in the School, and said to be since dead, is, I am informed, yet alive, and in a likely Way to recover.”
