Excerpt from The Short Line War
His great-grandfather, Ashbel Weeks, was born in Connecticut in I 748 he migrated to New York in 70, and settled among the Oneida Indians on the Upper Mohawk. It was the kind of life he was built for; he sniffed at dan ger like a young horse catching a breath off the meadows. He did not take the war fever until St. Leger came up the valley, when he fought beside Herkimer in the ambush on Oriskany Creek. He joined the army of the North, and remained with it through the long three years that ended at Yorktown; then he married, and returned to his home among the half-civilized Oneidas.
