JEFF Pennsylvania Wilderness, 1766
I be standinâ on the hilltop, lookinâ down on them 200 acres anâ thinkinâ I pays no mind to what Pa done afore he died.
That land be mine.
âRight be right, and that be all,â Pa say when he give them acres to Rufus Corn.
Right be that Pa donât die. Â Thatâs what right be!
âLand make a man greedy, son,â he say. âGod be in the land, anâ God give us 400 acre ofâŠ

Pathway to a Massacre
March 8, 1782, more than 90 Christian Native Americans were massacred at Gnadenhutten (Ohio) by a frontier militia.  Although a significant milestone in American History, this slaughter is not mentioned in most history courses.  It gave rise to brutal retaliations by Shawnee and Munsey warriors who, on behalf of their peaceful Christian brothers, tortured and killed Big Knife

The man in the high black hat is walking away.  Iâm thinking he wears that hat so folks can find him, folks like me, folks that need to git home.
âGirl!â
The hat is going through a door at the end of the big room.  I gotta git!

Iâm not afeared âcause Iâm heading home to Mama.
âStop, girl!â

The Forgotten Cemetery
Small hillside graves marked with wooden crosses or jaggedly-chiseled stones.
Low, wooden fences keeping nothing out.
White-wash on fences, rubbed off. Â Fences falling into decay and wooden crosses tumbling upon graves. Â Sapling oak grows high beneath splendid canopy which offers shade to dying cemetery.
Traces wash away as seasons pass and now-mighty tree sheds leaves upon the graves untilâŠ

Gore, Guts, Salvation
This is my fourth post about American settlersâ captivity accounts, the deliciously blood-curdling narratives of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. [ See (1)Grace on the Edge, (2)Gore & Guts ... the Grist of Grace, and (3)Gory Guts ... Gruesome Grace ]  Specifically, I discussed Mary Rowlandsonâs narrative, a 17th and 18th century best-seller.  [ Read Mary Rowlandson's account here. ]  HerâŠ

CALEB 1766 in the Pennsylvania Wilderness
