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 We remained there about two days, then we w through the bushes about ten miles, and came to the army, and there we remained until hot! Hamilton was finished, arid then we received orders to march for the Mauinee towns, leaving about forty men to keep the garrison. The road we went, we had to cut and clear as we travelled, day by day, which made ourjonrney very tedious, for we could go but about seven miles a day. We went on our march until we had got about forty-live miles, and then we built another fort, called Fort J otferson and after We had been building said fort about three days, I happened to be on the outside picket guard at night. The next morning there were three of the guard and myself, not having any duty to do, obtained liberty of our officers to go halfa mile distance a hunting, being veiy scant of provisions; and after we had passed the sentinels we parted, and agreed to take a small circle and then to meet upon a plain, and I went to the right hand, and coming round'a swamp, in a blind foot path, a little distance from the plain, looking out for game, not thinking ofany danger, on coming into a thicket of brush, there rose up three ludians, which you may think not a little surprised me; I looked t way, for a place to run, but found cable, for there were ludians on every side, tomahawks over my head, so [saw that I might as well give Up, as to make any resistance, dropping my firelock, and putting out my hand to shake With them, they shook hands with me, and bid we make haste; and then they took me through a swamp upon a dry ridge, and sat down for about an hour, and then went on again, and travelled until a bout twelve O clock when one of them gave a most hideous halloo, which made the woods ring again.
