Synopsis

The Story Of The Captivity And Rescue From The Indians Of Luke Swetland is a book written by Edward Merrifield. The book tells the true story of Luke Swetland, a young man who was captured by Native American Indians during the French and Indian War in 1758. Swetland was taken from his home in Pennsylvania and forced to live with the Indians for several years. During his time with the Indians, Swetland learned their language and customs, and even became friends with some of them. However, he never forgot his desire to return to his family and his old way of life. Eventually, Swetland was able to escape and make his way back to his home, where he was reunited with his family. The book is a fascinating account of Swetland's experiences, and provides a unique perspective on the relationship between Native Americans and European settlers during this tumultuous period in American history.An Early Settler Of The Wyoming Valley And A Soldier Of The American Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
