C'uptlM Brndy'e ramevi Leap.
SKCTCU WBITTIN BT JUDOS K0RCS IUMP
TOR,
In pursuance of your request, I
furniHli you the following sketch of
tho celebrated leap of Cuptain Ham.
Ready across a river whau pursued
by the Indians. This narrative was
originally preparod at the inntancQ
of Judge WilkiiiH, but never having
been in print, I trust it may prove of
some interest to your numerous
readers i
Having hoard of "Brady's leap"
from childhood, I have taken some
pains to obtain all tho facts within
my reach which might tend to shod
light on tho subjoct. Tho only doc
umentary evidence I have toen able
to procure is found in a small work
eutitlod "Historical Reminiscences
of Summit County, by (Ion. L. V.
Iliorce," of Akron, Ohio, which was
sont to mo by the author in 18,"G, in
answer to a letter of inquiry address
ed by me to him, seeking for infor
mation on tho subjoct
Ills statement is very brief, and I
copy it entire ; "As I remarked on a
former occasion, tho Cuyahoga river,
portage Path aud TiiHcarawas branch
of the Muskingum, were originally
the boundary between the Six Na
tions and tho Western Indians.
Tho
Onondagas, Ontidas, Mohawks and'
others of tho Six Nations roaido, in
the territory until the difficulty with
Diver in 1800. There was, on tho
first settlement of tho country, an
Indian trail, commencing at Fort Mo -
intOBU, at tho mouth of the ltig Ilea-
vor, and running from thouco through
west Portage county, crossing tho
Cuyahofra in Franklin, at what is
called the Standing Rockt tlionce
wost to Northampton in Summit
county, whore thore was a settlement
of Indians i thonco to Sandusky and
Detroit. I his trail was the grwrt
imnan tlioruguraro from Detroit to
the Ohio river, On it was constantly
pausing largo parties of Indiana, nud
it became, of courso, the favorite
hunting grounds of these Westorn
Nimrods. The Indians were ns
ready as thoy for tho eucountur, and a
war of extermination commonced. iin'
1780 a largo party of warriors from
the villages on tho Cuyahoga had
crossed the Ohio and made an in
cursion into the white sottloments,
murdering several families, and tak
ing away a large amount of plunder.
"Drady called together his band
and started in pursuit He lod on
the men, guided more by courage
than discretion, until ho entered the
Indian village on tho Cuyahoga aiver
in what is now Northampton. The
Indians expecting pursuit, were pro-
pared for him, and with numbers
four times his own, attacked him on
all sidos, and, with his followers, he
was put to a perfect rout Tho re
treat becamo a flight and evory man
was for himself. The Indians singled
out Brady, and leaving all the rest a
chase commenced for lam, which
continued without interruption till ho
arrived at the Cuyahoga river in
Franklin, just north of tho presont
location of the bridge on the road to
Ravenna. The Indians had extend
ed their lines so as to hem him in,
and with lound shouts of triumph.
thought their prisoner safe. The
river was here bounded on each sido
by perpendicular rocks, the chasm
being 22 feet wido. Brady, on reach
ing the river, crave a bound that de
spair on one side and hope on the
other alone could have effected i and
clearing tho abyss, he giviuod tho
opposite bank."
This statement t nave no doubt,
is substantially corroet as far as it
goes, but it is by no moans full and
complete. Having been on the
ground and examined it carefully t
and froiniuquiry in the neighborhood
as to tho tradition among the first
settlers, as well as from information
derived from my father fifty years
ago, I believe the following additional
facts to be true.
The place whore Brady leapod
across the Cuyahoga river is at a littlo
village called Franklin Mills, six
miles west of Ravenna, the county
seat of Portage county, Ohio, and
within about two miles of the rail
road leading from Pittsburg to
Cleveland. Both above and below
this place the banks are low, and the
stream easily forded at any ordinary
stage of water. But for the space of
perhaps a half mile or more, the
ground ascends on either side of the
river, by a gentle rue, for the space
of half a mils.
The geological formation is that
of gray sandstone, and the Cuyahoga
river at this point passes, for some
distance, through what seems to be
a fissure in the rook, caused by some
internal convulsion of nature. The
fissure, I was credibly informed, is
about thirty feet deep, and the point
where Brady jumped, the rack pro
jected short distanos over the
abyss. The distance ha leaped, as 1
was informed when last there in 1850
was 27 feet aad 6 inehee, on a dead
level, or horizontal hue. General
Bieree says it was H feet Whether
the tradition, as given to me, or Gen.
Bieree, be tho better authority, I will
not undertake to decide. I did not
measure it, besaase tha projecting
rook on the east aids was eu. away
in making the tow-path along the
bank, as this port of the river is used
fo eJaekwater navHsUoa oa the
0-Cut OoboI to Cleveland.
and tho rout of his mot., the Indians,
abandoning the latter, singlod out
the former as the man abovo all
others tlmy most feared, and most
desired to capture They extended
their lines up and down tho river, so
as to hem hi in onto the brink of the
fearful abyss, not anticipating for a
moment that ho would attempt to
leap across it.
As they approachod tho river the
doscout was long and gradual and
tho timber open i and although Drady
could run as fiittt as his savage pur
suers, he soon discovered that their
linos were too long to enable him to
pass cither end. Thoy could easily
have shot him, but they .dosirod to
take him alive that they might wreak
their vengeance, by their choicest
mode of torturo, for tho many inju I
rios thoy had sttHtuinod at his hands.
As thoy approachod tho river, lx-big
now sure of their prey, they called
cn him to throw away his gun or
they would have him. lie took their
advice, threw away his gun, shot-1
pouch and powder horn, but not for
the purpose, n thoy vainly snpposod,
of surrendering himself to their sav
ago'ruelty, when he might reach
the bank of tho river. It was for
tho purposo of freeing himself from
encumbrances, that ho might bo the
better fitted to aceoinpliHU tho dread
ful loan ho bail resolved to take, and
accordingly when ho reached tho
brink hu bounded over the fearful
chasm, nud landed safe on tho other
shs.
The Iiidins were so closo upon
1 him. that while recovering from the
hium-k oi landing on tho rock, nnd bo-
foro ho was able to got into the bush
es, they firod Uion him now that ho
was likely to mako his escane. Ai
ball took effect in the flush v part of
I tho thieh, but did not disable him
; fr' running, He mado directly for
j a small lake, which was northwest of
inai poini aoout two mUes distanL
l his lako bears tho name of 1
"Bradv's
.LiaKe to inis uay.
Tho Pittsburgh and Cleveland
Railroad passes over a narrow nock
of land which divides this from an
other lake, about four miles wost of
Knvenna. Thoso lakes, from their
T I t, .... .
hiso vicinity, are somotimes called
mo --J.W1U llanos, and may bo seen
and recognized by any travelor. That
ono on tho west side of tho Railroad
is Hrady's Lake."
Being perfectly familiar with tho
habits and customs of his enemies,
and knowing thoy would never re
linquish their pursuit so long as the
slightest hope of success remained,
and ho was bleeding quite freely, he
know thoy could trace him by his
blood, lie found a tree that had fall
on into tho lake, at a place where the
shore desoended very gradually
whoro the water lily, which has a very
largo loaf, covered tho surfaco of tho
water for a cejiisiderablo distaneo.
He got on this log and went along
to the top of tho troo, then stoppod
into the water nnd crawlod away
somo distaneo, where he found tho
water shallow enough to enable him
to lie down on his hack, with his
face merely abovo its surface, but
couipletly coneoale 1 from observation
by the largo loaves of tho water lily.
His pursuers, afraid to risk tho
fearful loap, and unwilling to give
up the piu-suit Jwont down the river
to a point where they could cross
with siifety. On making tho point
on the other sido whore Brady laud
ed, they took his trail and followed
it by his blood to the lake, then
along the tree to its top, they then
soarchod the water for some distance
but failing to find him, they conclud
ed he had plunged iuto tho deep wa
tor and drowned himself rather than
fall iuto their lion l-i.
They thou returued. to tako a more
careful survey of the spot whoro this
extraordinary feat of agility had been
performed- After carefully contem
plating the whole scene, and boiug
unwilling to admit (and this is a
well-known trait of Indian character),
tha any white man can exoel an In
dian iu feats of activity, thoy gradu
ally came to tho conclusion that ho
wits not a man, but a turkey, and
flew across, saying, "he no man, he
turkry-mhe flew t" and in order to
commemorate that fact they carved
on a rock close by a rude representa
tion of a turkey foot."
Ibis remaiued there an obioct of
curiosity to bundrods of persons,
travelers aud others, till the summer
of 1850, when, being on a visit to
some relations living there, and find
ing the rock was about being quar
ried and converted into building
stones, I obtained permission to
have a block out out containing this
turkey's foot which I brought home.
and, until quite recently, bad it in
my possession.
After remaining io the water until
he was satisfied his enemies had en
tirtly given up all hope of finding
bim, and bod left the lake, Cpt
Brady mode his way to the vises, or
noar there, where the town of Baveu
na no w stands, which hod been agreed
upon between mm and bis meu, bo
fore they reached the Indian encamp
ment, as the place of rendezvous, in
case they should become separated-
tie then met wDat low of his follow
ers had escaped the fury of the sava
ges, and as his wound was not verv
