John Leeth, a Scotsman born in South Carolina, spent nearly two decades immersed in the world of fur trading and the volatile relationships between Native Americans and European settlers. He was captured by the Delaware Indians, adopted into their tribe, and eventually became a skilled trader himself. He witnessed the violence and intrigue of the Revolutionary War, navigating treacherous alliances and dangerous encounters with both sides.
