Blind Man's Buff and The Late Indian Massacre
A ragged ledger of notices and anecdotes opens with advertising terms and a long spoof about a landlord fooled by four quick-wisted diners. It follows with a grim report from Ganer's Ferry on Col. Harney's Dragoons being decimated by Seminoles, eleven bodies found, and Bowlegs implicated. Additional items recount a Mississippi sheriff’s wife outwitting robbers, a burning boat with few survivors, and assorted vignettes on poverty in Canton, Hamilton's 1804 memory, Indiana farm transport, and other curiosities.
