Such was my love for the whites, that my countrymen pointed as they passed, and said, 'Logan is the friend of white men.' I had even thought to have lived with you, but for the injuries of one man. This 6. Colonel Cresap, the last spring, in cold blood, and unprovoked, murdered all the relations of Logan, not even sparing my women and children. There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. called on me for revenge. I have sought it: I have killed many: I have fully glutted my vengeance.

Pocahontas, the daughter of Powhatan, a celebrated Indian chief in Virginia, was born about the year 1595. She discovered the warmest friendship for the English, who colonized Virginia when she was about twelve years old, and was eminently useful to the infant settlement. 2. The first remarkable evidence of this attachment was displayed in 1607, when Captain John Smith was taken prisoner by her countrymen, and brought before Powhatan, that he might put him to death. 3. Indians generally shoot their prisoners; but they determined that Captain Smith should not die by this mode. Some of them went and brought two large stones, and laid them before Powhatan; the rest of them took their clubs, to beat out Captain Smith's brains: but Powhatan ordered them all to stand aside, and said he would kill him himself. POCAHONTAS INTERCEDING FOR THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN SMITH. 4. He took him and tied his hands, and then compelled him to lay his head upon the stones. All the Indians |
