Description

Excerpt from The Story of the Captivity and Rescue From the Indians of Luke Swetland: An Early Settler of the Wyoming Valley and a Soldier of the American Revolution
I have so often heard from my mother, Almira (Swetland) Merrifield, and my Aunt, Harriet (Swetland) Whiston, the story of their Granddaddy, Luke Swetland, with whom they spent their childhood days, that I feel competent to make a permanent record of it, and to rewrite his own narrative of his captivity. I gratefully acknowledge the aid of Mrs. Kate Pettibone Dickson in the publication of this book and dedicate it to the memory of her mother, Caroline M. (Swetland) Pettibone, a great granddaughter of Luke Swetland.
