    • "Mrs. James Plaisted, the wife of James Plaisted, was made a captive by the Indians about three weeks after delivery of a male child. They then took her with her infant oif her bed and forced her to travel in her weakness the best part of a day without any respect of pity At night the cold ground in the open air her lodging, and for many a day she had no nourishment but a little water with a little bear's flesh, which rendered her so feeble, that she with her infant were not far from totally starved. Upon her cries to God there was at length some supply sent in by her master's taking a moose, the broth whereof recovered her. But she must now travel many days thro' woods, and swamps and rocks and over mountains, and frost and snow until she could stir no farther. Sitting down to rest, she was not able to rise, until her diabolical master helped her up, which, when he did, he took her child from her, and carried it unto a river, where, stripping it of the few rags it had, he took it by the heels and against a tree dashed out his brains and flung it into the river. So he returned unto the miserable mother, telling her she was now eased of her burden and must walk faster than she did before,"
