In the predawn hours of October 16, 1780, the settlement of
Royalton, Vermont was attacked by Indians under the command of a
British Lieutenant named Horton. The residents were rousted out of
their beds by the screaming horde of painted warriors as their once
peaceful village was plundered and burned. Murder and mayhem were
everywhere. People watched helplessly as their wives, husbands and
children were put to death and their homes were burned. They
suffered unspeakable pain and suffering at the hands of their
attackers. Some were taken captive and forced to march through the
wilderness to Canada as prisoners to be turned over to the British
or to be tortured and killed. Zadock Steele was taken captive and
managed to survive and return to his home. This is his story as
told by himself. This book is part of the Historical Collection of
