A Survivor Of the Mountain Meadow
Massacre.

/ ho0oB0CI8s
| From the StsslviIls (Mo.j MirroYI
There resides near Oak Hill, 10 THU
county, man by the name Of VIM
Garrett, who has remarkable history
- one Of the few survivors Of the terri.
bic Mountain Meadow massacre, in Sep.
TENDER, 1857. where nearly two hundred
meo. women and children were slain BY
the Indians and kormons, under the
leadership Ct John D. Lee, who recent.
" expiated bis crime With his life. AT
that time Garrett was . boy, ten years
Of age. and with his sister Maliuda,
then elk years old, was captared BY the
Indians after they had butchered his
parents, and for twenty long years he
remained csptive, During the In
dian campaign 10 which Gen. Custer
was killed he was captured by U. $.
soldiers, and being found to be a white
man, IN investigation finally resulted 10
establishing his identity. He was taken
10 the home Of his childhood and at
once recognised the place. He has m
uncle living at his old home 10 Henry
county, 10 this state. The girl long
since had become the wife Of Red
Cloud, the we'll known Sioux chief,
and has had by him three children.
She prefers remaining with her Indian
friends. When rescued Garrett had
forgotten his mother tongue, and was
as wild a. an untamed savage. He re.
membered only his own and bis sisters
name, and the horrible scenes Of the
massacre, which nothing could blot
from his memory.
He visited the Mirror Office on Tues
day last, and gave US some interesting
incidents 10 connection With his twenty
years life among the savages. 10 ap
pearsnce he is little above the medium
height, erect and muscular, with dark
hair and heard, forid complexion and
bright clear blue eyes. He says the
Mountain Meadow massacre was IN.
doubtedly planned BY Brigham Young.
He remembers visiting Salt Lake with
the Indians and seeing the Mormon
leader pay the savsQes for the scalps Of
men, women and children, thus Offering
them IN incentive to murder those not
of the Mormon faith.
Garrett was adopted by the "medi.
Gina man" Of the tribe and inducted
into the mysteries Of the treatment Of
disease BY the Indian method, and be.
came great Indian doctor, ! fact
which he has turued to account since
his restoration to civilized life. He
has the reputation Of possessing great
skill in the treatment Of the sick in the
neighborhood where he has married o
wife. purchased farm and now resides.
He has sufficiently mastered tho English
language to make himself understood,
and is man Of more than ordinary in
telligence. He is devoting portion Of
bis time to study, with the design Of
publishing . narrative of his life 10 the
wilderness. and work on Indian medi>
cal knowledge.
