Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Matthew Bunn (of Providence, R. I.): In an Expedition Against the North-Western Indians, in the Years 1791, 2, 3, 4& 5 My honored father lived in Brookfield, Massachusetts, and engaged in the American army, in the first year of the Revolutionary war, at Roxbury, and died the same year, 1779. Being about the age of nineteen years, I enlisted under Ensign John Tillinghast, of Providence, for an expedition against the Indians, in the year 1791. When the period arrived when I must quit my home, orders were received for a part of the soldiers, viz. twenty-eight in all, to embark on board a vessel destined to convey us towards the western country, in which we went as far as New-Brunswick, under the command of Lieut. Shearman. On our passage to New-Brunswick, we had bad weather, though we arrived there in ten days; we remained there about five days, and then being equipped with our guns and accoutrements, we marched towards Pittsburgh. The weather was exceeding hot, which made our journey very tedious. We arrived at Pittsburgh sometime in August, where Lieut. Shearman resigned and went home, and Ensign Balch. of Boston, took the command of the detachment, to headquarters. We remained there about three weeks, when we received orders to go down the Ohio River. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
