AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Sitting around their campfire at the diggings, a group of men hear a large corroboree nearby. One of the men is asked to tell a story about 'those savage indians of [the Ohio River]' so that this group might be more 'kindly disposed towards these harmless natives of ours'. Fred Walker recounts his pursuit and capture by 'the Indians', and rescue by his friend, Uriah Bird.
