Desperate defense at Fort ancient roving siege
In September 1777 a fort defended by Col Sheppard endured a brutal siege by Simon Girty and 800 Iroquois. An African cook killed a scout, a hollow log cannon bomb failed, and teenage Elizabeth Zane earned powder to sustain the defense. Reinforcements by Swearingen and McCulloch arrived, the siege lifted, and Girty withdrew into the wilderness. The tale blends frontier courage with grim warfare and colonial figures.

The Hamlet Fortress and the Impostor Prince’s Plot
A damaged excerpt recounts the Ham fortress imprisonment of a Bonaparte prince, his entourage, and guards. It describes the grim, sanctioned confinement, limited freedom, and constant surveillance as Napoleon’s rival lineage lingers in exile.
Prince Louis Napoleon’s daring escape from Ham to London
An 1848 escape tale details Prince Louis Napoleon’s carefully planned breakout from the Ham prison. With disguise, staged workmen, and a loyal ally, he evades guards, slips past sentries, and reaches Valenciennes then London, aided by Dr Conneau and supporters, setting the stage for his rise to power in France.
