Tortured by Indians...



Item # 714377

October 08, 1792

DUNLAP'S AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, Oct. 8, 1792   The front page features 24 illustrated ship ads. Page 2 has a report: "...that Colonel Harden...on a mission to the Indians respecting a treaty of peace...were immediately made prisoners & sentenced to be burnt as spies. Colonel Harden saw his companion expire under all the tortures which savage ingenuity could invent; and was himself the next morning after his friend's execution to have experienced the same fate--but was stolen from his confinement by 8 young Wyandot warriors who lately conducted him to Fort Washington." followed by a related account.
Four pages, some foxing near the middle, otherwise nice.
