Simon Girty; "The White Savage" (So Called by Heckewelder, Moravian Missionary) [PDF ebook] 
A Romance of the Border

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But few words are needed to explain the purpose of the following work. For nearly a score of years Simon Girty figured with a bad preeminence on our Western Border. From his renegade flight from Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh), in I 778, down to Mad Anthony Wayne’s battle of the Fallen Timbers in I 794, when the power and coherence of the Ohio Indian tribes were forever broken, Girty and his brothers were the scourge of the border. The dreaded name was a terror in every frontier cabin, the mere mention of which would cause woman’s cheek to blanch and children’s hair to stand with fear.
