Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incidents of Border Life: Illustrative of the Times and Condition of the First Settlements Ive got to the town about the middle of the day, where we got some squas'hes to eat; the next morning we set out for Fort Duquesne the morning after that we came to several Indian camps - whey gave us some bfead, which was the first we tasted from the'tifne we were taken. About a mile or two before we came to the fort, we met an old Indian, whose dress made him appearcvery terrifying to us; he had a brown coat on him, no shirt, his breast bare, a breech-clout, a pair of leggins and moccasons, his face and breast painted rudely with vermillion and verdigris, a large bunch of artificial hair, dyed of a crimson color, fixed on the top or crown of his head, a large triangle piece of silver hanging below his nose, that covered almost the whole of his upper lip his ears (which had been out according to their peculiar custom) were stretched out with fine brass wire, made in'the form (but much larger) of what is commonly fixed in suspenders, so that, perhaps, he appeared some ng like what you might apprehend to be a likenesskof the devil. 5 he approached toward us, the rest said something to 'him, - he took hold of me by the arm, and lashed me about from side to side, at last he threw me from him as far as he was able, then he took hold of my brother, and served him the same way. Shortly after that, they stopped and painted us, tying or fixing a large bunch of hawk's feathers on the top of each of our heads, then raisedlthe war halloo, viz. One halloo for each scalp, and one for each prisoner, still repeating at certain intervals; we met several Indians who came running out to meet us - we were taken to the middle of their encampment into one of their chief's huts after they had given a narrative of their adventure, the old chief drew out a small bag from behind his bed and took out a large belt of wampum and fixed it round my neck we then started down to the fort, a great number of Indians of both' sexes were para ded on each side of the path to see its as we went along; some of them were shoving in'little fellows to strike us, and others advising me, to strike them, but we seemed to be both afraid of each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this original and sensitive ethnography of frontier life, Elizabeth Perkins recovers the rhythms of warfare, subsistence, and cultural encounter that governed existence on the margins of British America. Richly detailed, Border Life captures the intimate perceptive universe of the men and women who colonized Kentucky and southern Ohio during the Revolutionary era. In reconstructing the mental world of border inhabitants, Perkins draws on a pioneering source in oral history. In the 1840s, the Reverend John Dabney Shane conducted hundreds of interviews with surviving western settlers, gathering their recollections on topics ranging from food preparation to encounters with Native Americans. Although Shane's interviews have long been hailed as a rich, if complicated, source for western history, Perkins is the first scholar to consider them critically, as texts for cultural analysis. Border Life also deepens our understanding of how ordinary people struggled to make sense of their own lives within the stream of history. Discovering a significant disjuncture between recorded memory and written history in accounts of the early frontier, Perkins shows how historians and popular authors reshaped the messy complexities of remembered experience into heroic--and radically simplified--conquest narratives.
