Excerpt from The Story of the Captivity and Rescue From the Indians of Luke Swetland: An Early Settler of the Wyoming Valley and a Soldier of the American Revolution

Luke Swetland was one of the early set tlers of Wyoming Valley, coming with the Connecticut settlers in 1769, so far as I am able to ascertain; possibly it may have been in 1763. The hardships and privations of those early settlers has many times been written in prose and verse collectively; but records of the trials and troubles of individuals are few. The awful blow that fell upon the Slocum fam ily, when little Frances was captured by the Indians, and but a short time after, Jonathan Slocum, her father, was murdered by them, has been recalled and preserved in story in a book written and published by his descendant, Mrs. Martha Bennett Phelps, and has a deserved place in history. No one can read of that sad event, and of the wonderful incidents con nected with the discovery of the captive with out a due appreciation of the troubles incident to'' the early days of fair Wyoming, and a sincere respect for kindred that has so per petuated the memory of her ancestors.
