The "principal chief" of the Shawnees above alluded to was undoubtedly Black Hoof, or Catahecassa, who at this time lived in the first town of that tribe, at Wapakoneta, Ohio. Being near to Fort Wayne he had no doubt attended the great council at that place. He had been a renowned warrior, as already shown, and had been present at Braddock's Defeat, at Point Pleasant, and at St.
"I am to have any two prisoners to do with as I like," he answered. "Catahecassa said that when I started to enter the villages beyond the mountains to get news. There was little chance of bringing any whites back, but if I did I was to have two of them." "Then you had better remind your chief of his promise," I warned.
East of the mountains I could not have imagined a hand ever being raised against her. And I had seen her buffeted and struck down this day. Therefore, I did comprehend the inconceivable. I called out to the chief: "Catahecassa, listen to a white medicine, for the red medicine is far away or else is asleep.
You will do as Catahecassa says, or you will be tied to a tree and your daughter shall be put to the torture before your eyes." With a terrible cry Dale fell over on his side and remained unconscious. There was a second shriek, and the girl was pushing Black Hoof aside as she hastened to kneel by her father. The chief darted a glance of admiration at her for her display of courage.
What will they do with me?" her dry lips demanded. Ward, enraged by her show of aversion, seized her by the shoulder, ripping the cloth, and dragged her to her feet, and informed her: "Catahecassa ordered his men to burn you. I made him give you to me. You are my woman. You are lucky I am not a red man." "No! No! I'll burn, you monster! I'll burn a hundred times," she panted.
