Excerpt from With Sullivan in 1779: A Tale of the War for Independence, Relating Certain Events That Took Place in Monroe County; Being the Journal of a Forest Runner
June 15. [1779] My father's last request of me has been the hardest with which to comply. He did not know that it was to be his last, - indeed, how different would his last requests have been had the tomahawk of the red fiends spared him to face a natural and peaceful end! It would have been in the nature of a blessing, I'm sure. But as a matter of fact, his last expressed wish was that I should begin to keep a journal, a daily account of whatsoever befell me, and how I contemplated things and people. It seemed simple; for my father had been an exemplary tutor; and I thought that to record daily events in a blank book would be great fun - almost child's play, the I had, too, a glimmering sense of the value of such a procedure. But after a few stumbling failures I lost interest and would have given up had not my sentimental memory recurred so continually to the last evening with my father and his last request. He had just said to me: "Ed, my boy, you will be glad when you are older to read of these eventful days on the frontier, if your life is spared" - when with deafening uproar amid the howls of those treacherous demons, the door of our cabin burst in. - I will never record what followed; there is no need. I know I can never forget it. They left me for dead - my wound throbs as I write of it -. I presume my scalp was not taken because my hair had just been closely cut.
My father's friend, Squire Daniel VanCampen found me and really saved my life.
