«Juj>l. Samuel Br-.vily and Coi u-
planter.
Many of the wild legends of border, strife
and Iddiaff barbarity that havd been enacted
along the shores of the Allegheny and Ohio,
have never been rescued from the. dim and
fading remembrance of past ages. But oc
camoually a story of thrilling interest 3 s
snatched from the lingering records of the red
man.
The story I am about to relate, I received
from an old Indian pilot of the Allegheny. —
It was many years ago when lint stern old
chiefCornpianter, (whose remains now repose
in silence and loneliness on the banks of that
beauteous river he loved so well,) was in his
glory. His tribe roamed over the dense and
unbroken forests along its bands, fearless, un
molested and free.
His people were hostile to the whiles, and
never lost any opportunity to Tie in ambush
and seize the lonely voyager as be descended
the river, and confine him to the slake and i
the torture. But the watchful, shrewd and
deadly foe of Cornplanler and the whole
“lawny race" was the indomitable and fear
less Captain Samuel Blady. This veteran
pioneer and Indian hunter was one of thosa
noble specimens of the hardy foresters who
plunged fearlessly into the interminable for
ests that then overspread so large a portion
of the western States.
Like Daniel Boon, Lewis Wetzell, Simon
Kenton and others, who made Indian hunting
a pastime, his deadlv hale of the Indian, and
his burning passion for bunting them down,
amounted to a monomania. This haired was
in consequence of the wrongs they had in
flicted upon his family—his father, Capl.
Brady, and his brother having fallen victims
to the tomahawk and scalping knife.
The scene of the present story is at a place
known to boalmen and raftsmen as “Brady’s
Bend,” and where now the noise and bustle
o' a new manufacturing town called the
“Great Western’' resounds along the shores
that,then echoed only to the war whoop o(
the savage or the panther’s scream.
It is a bend m the river of nine miles in
length called the “Nme-milo Bend,” and is
scarcely halt a mile across the neck. Hera
in this bend, Cornplanler returned from some
successful inroad upon the whites, and sccur
ed-sevoral prisoners, by lying them 10 us
many Ujees, while his swarthy and hideously
painted followers were busy in Making prep
araiionsTor the faggots and the torture.
The slake was erected and thn faggots pre
pared with a)) U)e coolness and refinement of
Indian barbarity U was a beautiful evening;
the sun was just sinking behind ihe lofty hill
upon tnc opposite shore. Calmness had
thrown its oiiv wand upon the Allegheny’s
crystal tide and it slept. The full round moon,
just bursting through the distant blue, cast iis
mellow beams upon the steeping river, and
danced upon us placid bosom.
The melancholy note of Ihe whippor-will
from the adjoining thicket fell sweoily upon
the ear. The victims were unbound and led
to the place of torture. Ai itna moment n
voice high up among the frowning rocks ihal
loomed ou; trom Ihe thick hemlock that
■'.(owned the lull opposite, hailed Cornplanler
in llie Indian longue, informing him that lie
was an Indian warrior, just returned from
the war-path with a goodly number of pris
oners ”
He desired that the ceremonies of the tor
ture might tie suspended until ho could ford
the river ami join them, when (hey would
celebrate the occasion wrh usual demonstra
tions of savage rejoicing*. To this Corn
planter consented. . The (lames were extin
guished that had been kindled and the pris
oners again bound to the trees. ,
In the meantime, Brady, for it was lie who
had deceived the wily Indian, with a body of
men, moved silently up the river to a place
known as “Trubv's Hippie," and there ford
ing llic river, drew his men up across Ihe
neck of ihe bend, and moved noiselessly down
upon tho savages. So cautious was his ap
proach lhal the Indians were completely cut
off from retreat- before they becamo alarmed.
Brady s men hemmed them m from behind,
While the Allegheny rolled in front. The
first intimation to the savages of his approach
was communicated by a deadly discharge
from his unerring rifles. The Indians fought
with desperation, but were overpowered ; all
hilled or taken prisoners save the chief, Corn
plamer, who finding himself alone, plunged
into the rivfer, and swam for the other Shore.
Being a good swimmer, he remained sev
oral roinuies undur water* but as he rose for
breath, he was greeted wiih a shower, of
bullets. In .this way, alternately swimming
under water as lung as he could hold his
breath, and then rising to the surface, lie es
caped unhurt, and reached the other shore
in safety, secreted himself behind a large
standing rock
Tha prisoners were of course unbound, and
all joined in the jollification and joy at the
tlrteljr and unlocked for release. The rock
that shielded Cornplanter from Brady’s bul
lets was pointed out to me by the old Indian
in b recent trip down this riier. It is known
as the “Cornplanter’s Rock." The old In
dian gave me the story with a sad and de
jected countenance, in broken English.
“Alas! what a change I where .then the
sheeny tide of (ho beautious Allegheny par
ted only to the SWift-skimming canoe echoed
to the wild voices lhal came out of the dense,
dark forest, now is heard the shrill whistle
of the steam pipe trad rushing of'tho (might y
steamer. Where the tawny savage then re
clined upon the shady banks from his pursuit
of the deer, the panther and the bear, or
rested from the war-path, is now the scene
of life and activity.
This fall forest has receded before the ad
vancc of civilization, and given place to
farms, Beautiful villas and bustling towns.
The Indian, too, has passed away ; but a few,
and. #bey but miserable, decaying relics of
whaj jfiey once were, are now occasionally
seenj the descendants of the proud race that
once could call these hills, and groves, and
riverr'tll their own. Alas! in the language
of the poet:
"ChlclUlns apd their tribes have perished. !
