explain how the material for this story was obtained,
and why it happens that I can thus set down exactly
what Noel Campbell thought and did, during certain
times while he was serving the patriot cause in the
Mohawk Valley as few other boys could have done.

At some time in Noel's life - most likely after he was
grown to be a man with children, and, perhaps,
grandchildren of his own - he wrote many letters to
relatives of his in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
wherein he told with considerable of detail that which
he did during the War of the Revolution, and more
particularly while he and his friends were fighting
against that wily Indian sachem, Thayendanega. These
letters, together with many others concerning the
struggles of our people for independence, came into
my keeping a long while ago, and from the lines
written by Noel Campbell I have put together the
following story after much the same fashion as he
himself set it down.
