MAJOR SAM McCULLOUGES
LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was little srockade
built for the protection of the settlers
Of West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War Of the
Revolution. 1t stood on the Ohio
river near the present site of Wheel.
Ing In the summer Of 1777 when il
was besieged by a strong force of saw.
ages. Maj Sam Mccullough, noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head Of 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming In sight of the fort, McCul-
lough's men made dash for the gates
and passed through them In safety, al
though the Indians made desperate
effort to cut them off. Major McCul-
Tough held back to cover the retreat
Of his men until they were safely with
In its walls and delayed so long that
the redskins succeeded in getting be-
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs to his horse the
ranger leader dashed for a hill back
Of the fort. At its top he met another
band Of Indians and at the same time
third group approached him from
another direction. The Indians were
now on three sides Of him. On the
other was high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 800 feet below.
The ranger was cornered.
The Indians raised yell Of triumph
20 they closed in on him. But when
they saw Mccullough turn his horse
toward the cliff, they stopped in
amazement.
Urging. his horse to dead run. the
scout dashed toward the precipice. At
the brink Of the chasm he drove homie
the spurs and as his mount flew into
the air braced himself in the saddle.
The first leap was clear drop of so
feet, but both horse and rider were
uninjured as they landed on the steep
bank. Then slipping and sliding for
$50 feet more, they came to the creek
bottom.
As the Indians rushed to the edge
Of the precipice expecting to see the
crushed forms of horse and man far
below, they were astonished at the
sight Of the major, still upright In the
saddle, plunging into the creek and
riding up the other side to safety.
Within few hours he was back at
Fort Pitt, organizing larger expedi-
/. ton to march to Fort Henry.
Five years later as Major McCul-
Tough and his brother were riding
along road near Van Metres fort,
unsuspecting danger, they rode direct
ly into an Indian ambush. This time
McCullough's horsemanship could do
him no good. dozen Indian rifle
shots rang out and Sam Mccullough
fell dead.
