Pioneer canyon siege tale amid 17th century travels
A fragment recounts three men leaving a settlement near Cambridge in 1674 to explore a canyon. They fortify a palisade against a pursuing band of Indians, endure a fierce battle with many attackers killed, and witness a dangerous retreat ending with the rescuer Henry Sallins guiding allies back to safety. The account blends frontier adventure with a dated medical advertisement inserted.
