A Hair's Breadth Escape From Indian Attack in Virginia
A first-person reminiscence from early Virginia tells of a settler near Kabowha Falls who defends a cornfield against a decoy cowbell tied to an Indian hunter. He shoots the hidden attacker, barricades his cabin, and, amid dwindling powder, survives a night of fear then tracks the assailant to the river. The tale ends noting the settler's life in the wilderness among his pale-face neighbors.
