Oliver M. Spencer, taken prisoner in July, 1792, near Fort Washington (Cincinnati), Ohio, being not quite twelve years old. He was taken to the Miami, where after some months a prisoner named Wells saw him, learned of his family at Fort Washington, and sent report of the lad to Col. Wilkeson at Fort Washington. Letters were obtained through the influence of General Washington, from the British Minister at Philadelphia, to Col. Simcoe, Governor of Upper Canada; and an agent was dispatched by the prisoner’s friends to Fort Niagara. Young Spencer spent the winter of 1792-93 in the Shawanese villages, learning in February that an agent had come to Detroit to release him; Col. Elliott, the British Indian agent, paid the Indians $120, and he was taken to Detroit, reaching there March 3d; at the end of March he sailed on the sloop Felicity, reaching Fort Erie April 15th; and on April 17, 1793, he reached Fort Niagara and was welcomed by Lieutenant Hill, of the 50th Regiment. After some days, with Nathaniel Gorham and a colored servant, Spencer traveled on horse-back to Canandaigua, and in June proceeded to New York, meeting friends at Elizabethtown, N. J. In September, 1794, he returned to his parents at Columbia. This book originally published by R. R. Donnelley in 1917 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.
