as far south as the Great Miami and the Wabash,
and informed them of the event.--R. G. T.

[2] The treaty was held at Fort McIntosh, at the mouth of
the Beaver, early in January, 1785. The tribes represented were
the Wyandots, Chippewas, Delawares, and Ottawas. The
commissioners were Arthur Lee, Richard Butler, and George
Rogers Clark. Col. Josiah Harmar was in charge of the
troops.--R. G. T.

[3] L. V. McWhorter, well informed in the local traditions,
writes: "When the Indian sprang into the house, with drawn
tomahawk, he closed and for a few moments stood with his back
to the door. Then, while cutting an opening through the wall,
he asked Mrs. Cunningham how many men there were in the other
house. She answered by holding up the extended fingers of both
hands, indicating 10."--R. G. T.

[4] McWhorter: "Mrs. Cunningham related that the last
she saw of her little daughter, was one quivering little
foot sticking up over a log behind which she had been
thrown."--R. G. T.

[5] McWhorter: "The cave in which Mrs. Cunningham was
concealed is on Little Indian Run, a branch of Big Bingamon
Creek, on which stream the tragedy took place. The cave is
about two miles northwest of the site of the capture, and in
Harrison County, W. Va."--R. G. T.

over her with an uplifted tomahawk, to prevent her from crying
out. At times, the whites were upon the very rock above their
heads."--R. G. T.

[7] McWhorter says local tradition has it that the Indians
remained in the cave a night and a day; they departed before
daylight, during the second night. Mrs. Cunningham related that
just before leaving, the wounded brave was borne from the cave
by his fellows, and she never again saw him; her opinion was,
that he was then dead, and his body was sunk in a neighboring
pool.--R. G. T.

[8] Mrs. Cunningham had been over three years with the
savages, when she was taken to a great Indian conference held
at the foot of the Maumee rapids, "at or near the site of the
present Perrysburgh, Ohio," in the autumn of 1788. Girty
brought the attention of McKee, then a British Indian agent, to
the matter, and McKee furnished the trinkets which con
