Excerpt from Quaker Ben: A Tale of Colonial Pennsylvania, in the Days of Thomas Penn
The period of the administration of Thomas Penn, (1737-1742) in the colony founded by his distinguished father, was one of great historic interest. The infamous "Indian Walk" which led to the cruel and criminal expulsion of the Delaware Indians by their warlike conquerors and masters, the Iroquois, at the instigation of Thomas Penn, was an incident that led to serious consequences. The attack by Great Britain on the Spanish Main in the unfortunate Cartagena campaign, in which the American colonies, with their customary loyalty, heartily joined, was another incident that sorely vexed the peace-loving spirit of the Friends, though it had the co-operation of the belligerent citizens of Penn's colony.
The outbreak of the yellow fever in Philadelphia was a third occurrence of the period, which, united with those mentioned, seemed to the author to furnish the elements for an historic romance that would be alike interesting and instructive. Indeed, the entire condition of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia at that particular period, both in the city and on the frontiers, was one of transition, of civil and social and religious evolution that invites the attention of intelligent readers.
The great interest expressed by many readers of the author's earlier romance, "The Latimers," in the Scotch-Irishman, Andy Burbeck, suggested his introduction as a boy in "Quaker Ben," with members of his family to furnish the environment in which the lad was developed.
