Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln
Josiah started at once upon a daring errand through the woods to Hughes' Station, the nearest military post, for assistance. Little Thomas, only seven years old, remained in childish fright by the body of his murdered father. Mordecai, the oldest son, reached the house and obtained a ri?e while the ambushed Indian was recharging his own before venturing out to secure the coveted scalp trophy. The next shot came from the house, and was aimed at something white upon the breast of the warrior, just as he laid his hands upon little Thomas. It was well directed, and the savage fell dead beside his vic tim. Other Indians showed themselves, and were skirmished with by Mordecai until Josiah returned with a party of ri?emen, but no more were killed. The young marksman himself became a revengeful hunter of Indians, destroying them relentlessly as wild beasts, whenever an Opportunity offered.
