Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]with her forefinger between her teeth, looking shyly up at him. There could be no doubt she felt fully acquainted. Alice came forward on the other side. Neither understood the cause of the turmoil about them. They were not scared, but were awed into silence. "I saw Omas," explained Ben to his mother; "he saved me from the fate of many others." "Where is he?" "A little way off, under the bank, waiting with his canoe, to take us across the river. "He says we must hurry through the woods for the settlements on the Upper Delaware. Every hour that we stay increases our danger." "Let me take Alice; lead the way." Clasping tight the hand of Linna, with his mother at his heels, Ben pushed for the point where he had left the Delaware a few minutes before. Strange that though the distance was not far, and the confusion seemed to be increasing every minute, the little party had not gone half way when they were checked by one of the men that had been in the battle. He was slightly wounded, and under the influence of liquor. "Who's that you've got with you?" he demanded, looking down at Linna, who saw no danger in the act. "A friend of Alice and me." "She looks like an Injin," added the soldier, scowling threateningly at her; "if she is, I want her." "I told you she is a friend of ours—get out of my way!"[...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I don't suppose there is any use in trying to find out when the game of “Jack Stones” was first played. No one can tell. It certainly is a good many hundred years old.All boys and girls know how to play it. There is the little rubber ball, which you toss in the air, catch up one of the odd iron prongs, without touching another, and while the ball is aloft; then you do the same with another, and again with another, until none is left. After that you seize a couple at a time, until all have been used; then three, and four, and so on, with other variations, to the end of the game.Doubtless your fathers and mothers, if they watch you during the progress of the play, will think it easy and simple. If they do, persuade them to try it. You will soon laugh at their failure.Now, when we older folks were young like you, we did not have the regular, scraggly bits of iron and dainty rubber ball. We played with pieces of stones. I suspect more deftness was needed in handling them than in using the new fashioned pieces. Certainly, in trials than I can remember, I never played the game through without a break; but then I was never half so handy as you are at such things: that, no doubt, accounts for it.Well, a good many years ago, before any of your fathers or mothers were born, a little girl named Alice Ripley sat near her home playing “Jack Stones.” It was the first of July, 1778, and although her house was made of logs, had no carpets or stove, but a big fireplace, where all the food was made ready for eating, yet no sweeter or happier girl can be found today, if you spend weeks in searching for her. Nor can you come upon a more lovely spot in which to build a home, for it was the famed Wyoming Valley, in Western Pennsylvania.Now, since some of my young friends may not be acquainted with this place, you will allow me to tell you that the Wyoming Valley lies between the Blue Ridge and the Alleghany Mountains, and that the beautiful Susquehanna River runs through it.The valley runs northeast and southwest, and is twenty-one miles long, with an average breadth of three miles. The bottom lands— that is, those in the lowest portion—are sometimes overflowed when there is an unusual quantity of water in the river. In some places the plains are level, and in others, rolling. The soil is very fertile.

Book excerpt: It's amazing how God can work in so many various ways for different peoples, as seen in the relationships between Native Americans and our group of the little white family, and the Oma family portrayed in The Daughter of the Chieftain : the Story of an Indian Girl. On the other side, however, is the appalling way that both groups treated one another. This is a true tale of an Indian Chieftain who makes friends with a young white girl (or vice versa), makes friends with the family, pays visits, and eventually brings his young daughter along. Then everything goes wrong, the Iroquois wage war on the white people and slaughter many of them, but the chieftain manages to save this one family, with a significant contribution from his young daughter. The Chieftain and his family are ultimately... No, the suspense cannot be revealed. You should read the complete story for that!
