Frontier Ranger Higgins Heroics and Illinois Frontier Tale
A long excerpt recounts Thomas Higgins, Kentucky-born ranger, who fought a large Indian party near Vandalia, Illinois in 1814. He saved fellow soldier Burgess and a wounded comrade, Higgins refusing retreat until rescue by Mrs Pursley, and later endured siege injuries. The piece notes Higgins died in Fayette County, praised as a model frontier man, with historical notes and editor’s reflections on mechanics and social snobbery.
