In 1760 Montgomerie’s Highlanders faced captivity among the Cherokees. Allen Macpherson feigned vulnerability to mislead captors and described a medicine to render skin immune to weapons. The ruse succeeded as the warriors beheaded his guards and released him, impressed by his craft. An account notes related troop movements, debts, and emigration trends in the era.

Loot and Destruction Amid Lucknow Plunder by British Forces
The British groups and their native allies seized vast treasures in Lucknow. Palaces overflowed with mirrors, pearls, velvets, and embroidered cushions as Sikhs and soldiers ransacked lavish rooms. Slaves guarded wealth and a final inventory revealed diamonds, emeralds, rubies, pearls, and jeweled swords, with authorities noting frantic greed and indiscriminate plunder.
