Hairbreadth Escapes in Indian War Tale Near Dayton
An elderly storyteller recalls a 1798 Virginia frontier tale of a man living near Kanawha fall who fends off six warriors with a single musket shot after mistaking a cow bell for an Indian decoy. He shelters his wife, sabotages escape routes, and waits through a moonlit night for a doomed stand that tests endurance and resolve.
