Brady's Adventures.
GENERAL Huan-TtRADY has stated to us
that the subjoined - narrative is substantially
The- General, also, - .assures us
correct
that the child was',not recaptured by •his
brother, as he was's° strongly fastened, tar
the Indian that he Was, noLable to release;
him . and.'save his own life, and that of the.
boy's mother. The General also informs
us that in . 1837, at Beaver; PennsylVaniq,
he became acquainted with a young man o
the name of ,StupeS. On enquiry, he had
the satisfaction to learn that he was a son
of the boy in question. He informed the
General that his father remained with the
Indians till after the treaty of Greenville,
in 1795—that he then returned home, and
When the. Beaver country was settling; his.
father_purchased the spot where the scene
took place, and lived there to the day of his
death, Which happened about one year be
fore, and now lies interred . on the' very.
spot Wherei) . fell'• with the 'lndian Sixty-.
one years ago. We find. the narrative in
the - ts burgh - American.—Detroit
In' 1780; a small fort, within the present
limits of Pittsburgh, was the head quarters
of General Brodhead, who was charged
with the defence of this quaiter of the fron
tier. The . country north and west of the
Allegheny river was in possession .of the
Indians. Gen: Washington;Whose corn
prehensive'sagacity had provided against
all dangers that menaced, the country,
wrote to General Brodhead' to select a suit
able officer and despdtelt him to Sandusky,
for the purpose of examining.the place and'
ascertaining the force of the British and In
dithts assembled there, with a yiew-totnea
sures 'of preparation and defence, against
the depredations and altacks.to be expected
froM thence.
General BrOilhead had no diflictilty — in
making the selection of au Officer, qualified
for this difficult and dangerous duty. He
sent for Captain Brady, showed. him Wash
ington's letter, and a map or .`draft of the
country, ,he must traverse ; very defective,
as pratly afterwards discovered, but•the
best, no doubt, that could ; be obtained at
that time. . ,
Captain Brady was not insensible to the
danger, norignorant of the difficulty of the
enterprise. But he saw the anxiety of the
Father of his courdry to pro Cure informa
tion that could ,only be obtained by this
perilous mode; .hOd":knew its importance.
His own danger was of inferior considera
tion. The appointment was accepted, and
selecting few soldiers _and four Chicka
saw Indians as
.guides, he crossed the
leglieny river, aiiil was at once in the ene

It was in May, 1780, that he commenced
his march—the season was uncommonly
wet... Every' considerable stream Was
swollen; neither road, bridge not houie fa

up by - tho way; as (hey - crept, rather 'than
marched . ; through the wilderness by.night;
-and lay concealed in its hrambles by
_day.
The slightest trace of his 'movement, the
print of:a man's foot on the's - and of a river,
mightliave' caused thOextermination of the
._party. • 'Brady was Versed in . all the wiles

The next merning a dense frog Spread

it cleared off; afforded him a view of about
three thousand Indians engaged in the a-,
mu.sement of the race ground.
They had just returned from Virgjnia or
Kentucky with some very fine horses.—
One gray 'horse in particular attracted his
notice. He won every race until evening,
Nitheil, as if envious of his speed, two ri
ders were placed on him, and thus he was
beaten., • • -
-'.The starting post was only a few rode
"Awe where Brady,lay, and lie had a pretty
fair chance of enjoying the amusement,
without the risk of losing any thing betting
on the race.
He made such observation' through the
day as was in his power, waded out' from
the island - at night, collected his men, went
to the Indian camp he had seen as he came
oul ; the squaws were there ; took them
prisoners, and continued his 'march home-,
ward.
The mapfurnished by General Brodhead .
was found to lie defective: The distance
'was represented to be much less thari it
really was. The provisions anda - Munition
of the Men were exhausted ; by the time
they'had reached the Big Beaver ; on their
return: Brai!y-Shot-an otter u blit-Could-not

found plenty of strawberriesrwhich they

ing discovered. -a deer, Brady followed it,
telling the men he • wb — ull , perhaps get a
shot at it. He hid gone but a few rods
when he saw the deer standing breadside
to him. He raised his rifle and attempted
to fire, but it flashed in the pan, and he hail
not a priming of powder. He sat down,
picked die touchole, and then ,started on.
After going a short distance, the pathmade .
a bend; and- he saw before him a - large 'ln
dian on horseback, with a Child before`iiim
and its mother behind him on the horse,.
and a number of -warriors marching in' the
ciear. His first impulse was to shoot the
ndian on. horseback, but as lie raised the
rifle, he obscrved_the.,..child!s head to roll
with the motion.of the : horse. It was fast
asleep and tied to the Indian. He steppe , '
behind a tree and waited until he could
shoot the Indian, without danger to, the
child'or its mother: . •
When he considered the chance certain,
he shot the Indian, who, fell from the horse,
and the child and its mother 'fell 'With
,him.
Brady called to his men with a voice that
rriade the forest ring, to surround "the In
diana and give .them a general fire. He
Sprung to the fallen Indian + s powderhorn,
but could, not pull it off. •Being „dressed
like an Indain,.the Woman thought he Was
