A Heroine of 1698 Duston Story Recaptured in Old Narratives
The excerpt recounts the 1698 capture of Mrs Hannah Duston by a Native raiding party near Haverhill and her daring escape and revenge story. Duston, with a nurse and infant, travels hundreds of miles, disguises herself, and kills ten captors with a hatchet before returning to her family. The tale was examined by the Massachusetts General Court and celebrated in Boston with prizes and gifts, cited as a model of female bravery.
