These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside History of the Early Settlement of the Juniata Valley - Embracing an Account of the Early Pioneers, and the Trials and Privations Incident to the Settlement of the Valley: Look inside the book: The fireside recitals of these events made them 'as familiar as household words' among those who are now fast passing away; but they search all histories in vain to find a faithful account of more than a moiety of the struggles, trials, and personal adventures of the pioneers, as well as the many cold-blooded Indian massacres and depredations which spread desolation through the land, and laid waste the homes and firesides of so many who located in what was then a wilderness. ...By this time I had proceeded to the hill, to have my wound tied up and the blood stopped, where the prisoners which in the morning had come to our people informed me that that very day two bateaux of Frenchmen, with a large party of Delaware and French Indians, were to join Captain Jacobs at the Kittaning, and to set out early the next morning to take Fort Shirley, or, as they called it, George Crogan's Fort; and that twenty-four warriors, who had lately come to the town, were set out the evening before, for what purpose they did not know, -whether to prepare meat, to spy the fort, or to make an attack on some of our back inhabitants.
