PERILS OF THE PIONEERS
Horrors, Experienced by LItchfield County Families Seeking Homes
 on the Border.

To the Editor of The News:
 The. following narrative was con- tributed to the Litchfield Enquirer about 1845 or 1846 (perhaps earlier) by Dr. Samuel Wadsworth Gold, father of the late Theodore Sedgwick Gold of Corn wall, Conn. It is an interesting and true chapter from real life and from its local associations should possess interest for many readers of The News. The story is printed with some variations in the History of Cornwall by MT. T. s. Gold, who states that his father re- ceived the facts from the lips of Mrs. Elizabeth Oviatt of Goshen, an eye wit ness of the scenes described, and sister of the Nathaniel Carter who remained among the Indians.
 It may be of interest to add that Nathanlel Carter's son, David Carter, who attended the Mission School in Cornwall, became later Chief Justice of the Cherokee Nation, Delegate to Con- gress, and died in 1867 leaving a family of eleven children. Five of his sons served in the Confederate army, two as captains. and all of the children attained honorable positions in life and their descendants are widely scattered. Hon. Charles David Carter, at present repre- sentative in Congress from Oklahoma, is a great grandson of Nathaniel Garter who was captured and adopted by the Indians. HOWARD W. CARTER.

 Almost incredible is the recital of the hardships and sufferings from savage cruelty to which the early emigrants of our western settlements were exposed. With very few of the comforts of life, and none of it's luxuries, they penetrated deep into the dark and unbroken forest, 1 erected their rude habitations. and placed within their unembellished walls their wives and little ones. All they ! possessed on earth thus insecurely re- posed in the bosom of solitude and danger. The sound of the hoarse winds as they rushed heavily through the branches of the tall trees around their dwelling, was often mingled with the tread and growl of the wild beast and | the willy approach of the more ferocious and deadly savage. And often, too, was the midday stiffness of the forest Continued on page 5.)
