Copperhead honesty and a widow’s tale in Sycamore
In Sycamore township a copperhead collector pressured a widow to pay 6.50 for commutation money. The account recounts armed pursuit, killings of five Indians, and a perilous river crossing as the narrator recalls his escape from Savage attacks and the grim actions taken to secure provisions and report to authorities.
