Surviving Heroine of 1513 Retold in Memoir
A long excerpt recounts Rebecca Bates, age 84, recalling life near Scituate during British incursions in 1812. She describes her father Captain Simon Bates, the light keeper, and a home guard formed after an English frigate threatened the town. Rebecca narrates a tense night at the lighthouse, the ship, and her improvised defense using drums and fife, along with other local stories of harbor life and fugitive tales.

After years of hard labor, the prisoner’s torture alleged by the injury to his leg and mind led to a grim moniker in the penitentiary as “Gen. Death-Bell,” illustrating a saga of injustice and enduring stigma.
