I saw McGary powdering his pan, and Harrod his, and felt the crowd giving back like buffalo. All at once the circle had vanished, and the two men were standing not five paces apart with their rifles clutched across their bodies, each watching, catlike, for the other to level. It was a cry that startled us and them.
They were as fearless as they were tireless, and were beloved by their followers. Harrod finally died alone in the wilderness, nor was it ever certainly known whether he was killed by Indian or white man, or perchance by some hunted beast.
It was immediately assailed by a powerful Indian force, and a furious battle followed. One side of it was exposed to another field from which Indians sent in bullets in showers. Nevertheless the men, encouraged by Logan, Floyd, and Harrod, drove straight toward Piqua.
Cowan and Mrs. Harrod were standing alone. For there was little of fear in those three. "Shucks!" said Mrs. Cowan, "I reckon it's that Jim Ray shooting at a mark," and she began to pick nettles again. "Vimmen is a shy critter," remarked Swein Poulsson, coming up. I had a shrewd notion that he had run with the others. "Wimmen!" Mrs. Cowan fairly roared. "Wimmen!

Certainly you can lose nothing by assisting us, but you might gain a great deal. Please look again at this advertisement 'supposed to have married' but was your mother ever married?" "Yes, she was," answered Fan, a little reluctantly. "Her husband's name was Joseph Harrod; but I do not know where he is. I left him years ago." "Nor do we want him.
Each leader gathered round him a little party of men, who helped him build the fort which was to be the stronghold of the district. Among the earliest of these town-builders were Hugh McGarry, James Harrod, and Benjamin Logan. He was as revengeful and foolhardy as he was daring, but a natural leader in spite of all.
Then Captain Harrod read the letter asking him to raise the company, and before day had dawned they were ready for the word to march ready to leave cabin and clearing, and wife and child, trusting in Clark's judgment for time and place. Never were volunteers mustered more quickly than in that cool April night by the gates of Harrodstown Station.
I'll bet he'd have been sick if chappies had refused to let him have tick when he was starting his store. Do you suppose Harrod, when he started in business, paid cash down on the nail for everything? Not a bit of it. He went about taking people by the coat-button and asking them to be good chaps and wait till Wednesday week. Trifling!
Practical men like Harrod and George Rogers Clark who, if not a practical man in his own interests, was a most practical soldier saw that unification of interests within the territory with the backing of either Virginia or Congress was necessary. Clark personally would have preferred to see the settlers combine as a freemen's state.
