m_o"ved to Missouri, and settled at about-

the North Grand River. My father kept
the ferry. .
About eight years ago we moved from;
this place to Texas,.and-settled near Pa-
ris, in Lamar County. 2 Here father,
and mother -died" within’ one’ day of I each
other, leaving six orphan children behind
them.‘ Three of my "brothers hall died
before thedeatli of my parents. ‘My el-
\
ldest brother, who was in a ranging com-
pany, uow_cainc- home to settle my fath-‘

‘different neighbors, but took the young-

four years old when my parents Idi'ed.-—-
Caroline is a dwarf, and the neighbors
thought that the medicine the doctor gave
her _s;to'pped her growth. She, was a
dear child and we all loved her hechuse
of her misfortune. (Here Janewas una-
ble to restrain -her feelings, and burst, in-
mam.) I lived with Eeveral neigh-
bors until the first of last Februnry';~when
I was mnrriedto Mr. James \Vils’on‘, a
young farmer just beginning life with a
little property, consisting in cattle and
horses. He was but nineteen years
when we were married. VVe knew but
little of life for I was not yet sixteen. I
fear that we were crazy in getting mar-
ried while we were so you‘nn‘.? . -(Poor

this period of her life she wept" "as if her
heart would break.) ,
\Ve have heard that people gbecame
rich very fast iniCalifornia, so‘ we conclu-
ded to move and commence life in that
distant country. We gathered together
the little property we possessed and join-
ed a party of emigants consisting of 52
men, 12 Women and several children.--
The father and brother of my husband
were among this number. ...._There were
in all 22 wagons, and the whole compa-

Mr". Haiti’,-" who owned ahd commanded
this train, having some business in Tex-
as wliicli fequired his immediate atten-
tion, travelled very rapidly, and I hoped
in a few days’ more to be in the midst of
my friends.
A As we had seen only one Indian on
the route we’ flattered ourselves that we
should nor: be molested by any of the.
tribr-"s‘73\vllich infest ‘this route. \Vheu
I heat" the borders of Texas, some of our
own_p'a,rly stole three animals from Mr,
lIart_ and ranoff. Mr. Hart, anxious to
overtake the thieves, started in pursuit.,
taking with him my eldest brother-‘in-law
a led some fourteen years of age, leav-
_ ing my_self, a Mexicali, and the two boys
to follow as rapidly as we could. We
were at this time within three days’ jour-
ney of a military pO:l. at Phantom Hill,
and were considered out of danger. A
dlsclmrged soldier being unable to keep
up withus was some distance behind,
but I saw nothing of him after this. The
day after Mr. Hart left us, as we were
travelling, about noon we saw two Ca-
manclie Indians charging upon us in
front, and at the same time two others
were seen driving up behind. We were
all very m_u_ch frightened, and the Mexi-
can jumped out of the wagon and went
towards the Indians in order, if possible
to g?a'irr'~’tlIeir friendship.
The mules in our wagon, four in num-
ber, ,be.comiug frightened by the war
whoop of the savages, turned out of the
~i*oml,‘and-comme‘uc'ed running as fast as
they co‘n'l(l. One ‘of them fell down he-
fore_'w‘e"h‘a‘d‘gone far, and the others were
thenobliged to stop. T_he_Indiuns now
came upon us, and ordered the Mexicali
to take the mules out of the harness.—
, While this was going on, I got out of
the wagon and looked on in breathless
suspense. After the mules were unhar-
nessed, the “Mexican was stripped of his
clothiug,'his hands. tied behind his, back,
‘a_n_d_ ordered ._ to sit down upon. -the
’gi‘o_;m‘u2., One of them then went behind
,l;i;1,2«:,-gi_,d"s,lnot him withia gun. while an-
other stabbed ‘-him ‘several times with a
large butcher knife. ‘His scalp was cut
off before he was dead, ‘and put into his
own hat-;. the hat was then worn by one
of his murderers. I was stupified with
_hor.ror ‘as I gazed on this spectacle, and
supposed that my turn would come next
but the Indians having secured the plun-
der of the'"wagon, mounted us on the
mules and ordered us to go with them.
-As I left, I"looked back and saw the poor
Mexican weltering in his blood, and still
breathing.
We took a northeast direction, and tra-
veled slowly till sunset, when we en-
camped. Here the plunder, consisting
ofblankets, bedding, clothing, hridles and
some money, which had in my pocket,
was divided‘ among the Indians.‘ Some
articles considered useless were thrown
into the,-fi're_. My clothing was taken
away,» except barely enough to cover my
person.‘ In the distribution of the cap-
tives, the eldest hoy, about 12 years Of
age, waslclaimed by the chief; I became
the property of one of the others. lshould
mentioned that one of our captors was a
Mexican, who had been stolen from the
State of Chihauhau when an infant. He
xvus now as savage as the Indians, and
claimed the youngesf boy for his prize.
The scalp of the Mexican was stretched
on a stick and dried by a fire.
After giving us some meat for our sup-
per, the Indians began to secure us for
the night. The boys, with their arms
tied tightly behind them, were taken un-
der guard by two of the savages. My
feet were tied together, and I was ob-
liged to lie between the other two. I
did not sleep any during the night, for I
was afraid of being killed.
7 The next day we resumed our journey
and traveled in the same "direction. The
boys were mounted on good animals, and
had bows and arrows. Their faces were
painted Indian fashion, and they looked
like young savages. They appeared to
enjoy this new mode of life, and were

mm: the twelfth daybf my"c"a’p_ttu-cl.-
At this time, we were‘join_ed_'by two jIn-
dian men and a squaw. These were: all
the Indians I saw till after my, escjpe.
Up to this time my suffering had bee' so
‘severe asto take from me all desufie; to
live, but now they were, _greatly' lin-
creased. The . squaw, from whom I
might have expected some compucuion,
was evidently the cause of all the new
crueltieswhich I ‘now began ‘to experi-
ence. , _ .
My liorse was taken fromme, and I
'tvas.mou"ii'ted on an iuubroken m_ule-with-
.out '3 bridle- I '.I‘h_ada saddle, but it was
.'\vorn.'0ltt_: for nothing," except
“que"ntly tip me, over‘ its headof ifsiown
all-‘c0T”dlS but not being wild enough to
“gi'atify,the' ‘malice of the Indians, the.
°chief would sometimes shake the, Mexi-
c'a"ns ‘scalp, before its eyes. The beast
would then rear and ‘plunge in utmost
fright, and I would be thrown upon the
ground with great violence. I have
been tossed from the mule’s back as
many as hnlfa dozen times _a.day,,and
once I wasso btunned that I“ lay a con-
siderable time br_efor‘e___rny, senses returned
My repeated falls ‘g‘re"a_tly_ ainusedtlre In--
dians, whose horrid’ peals of Iaughter
might have. been heard at "a great dis-
tance. I ' ‘
of pity towards me. It’-made no differ,-
‘ence how badly I‘ was hurt, if "I did not
rise immediately and mount the animal -
which had just thrown me, they would_
apply their riding whips, or I guusticks,
or the end of a lariut, to my unprotected
body with the greatest violence. The
squaw would also help me to rise by
wounding me with the point of a upon’-
which she carried. You may under-
stand one object the Indians had in view ,
in putfing me upon thin Wild animal and
causing me to be thrown so often, when-
I tell you I expected to become smoth-
er in a few weeks. They understood
situation, but instead of softening, their
hearts it only made them the more inhu-
man, and subjected me to greater s_u.fl'er-
ings. -
I was obliged to work like I ,s_lave
while in - camp; when there‘ was any
service to perform I’ was not allowed a
moment's rest. I was compelled to car-
ry large loads‘ of wood on my back, which
being destitute of sufficient clothing,was
mangled till the blood ran down tci my
feet. I had to chase the animals through
briars and bushes, till what little clothing
I had was torn into ribbons. I’ brought
the animals to camp in the morning, and
had to watch then till they were ready
to’ start, and if one more wild. than the
rest rau'off,- I must chase and bring him
back. and then be knocked down by the
"savage chief for my wvant of skill.-—
When all were ready to start I had to
catch and saddle my own wild mule,
without assistance. If the party-did not
start-immediately. I was compelled" to
‘pull at the end a of lariat which the Indi-
ans would fasten ton bush. They seem-
‘ed to study every method of putting me
to death by piecemeal. -
Exhausted by incessant toil and suffer-
ing, and extreme anguish from my
wounds, I could not worlras fast as the
I udians desired ; _ and often when scarce-
ly able to stand, and hardly knowing
what I was doing, I have been required
to do th_g-_.yt!_ork of the strongest man;-"—‘
And ‘because of my inability to accom-
plish my ‘task satisfactorily, I have been
whipped until my flesh was raw. Large
stones were thrown at me. .
I was knocked down and stamped upot v
by the ferocious ‘chief, who ,seer.ned»an'x-I
ions to crush me beneath his feet. 9 My
head sometimes fell beneath theihorsoo’
"feet, and then the Indians would try to
make the beasts kick me. After all was
ready for the day's journey, I was obliged
to travel as fast as the others—ridiug
sometimes over rocks and through bush-
es, aching and sore from head to foot, and
exposed alike to cold and heat," sunshine
and storm.
I have gone two days at a time with-
out tasting food. The Indians depended
on hunting for their substance, and some-
times had nothing to eat themselves—-un-
less there was an abundance of food, I
received little or uotlnng,-when any game
was killed, the Indians would tear ‘out
the heart, liver, and entrails, and eat
them raw. I suffered exceedingly from
thirst ; I was not allowed to drink, ex-
cept while in .. camp. We frequently
crossed beautiful streams during thfl 3|!’-
and I would beg the privilege of dismoun-
ting to quench my thirst. But NIB 10-
diaus . would always deny In)’ “¢‘l“9“

My situatiouwas now distressing be-

from the nearest friendly settlements. I
was without food, without sheltet, and
almost without clothing. ' My body -wins

were so badly swollen that I could hud-
ly stand. Wild beasts were around me,
and savages, more wild than beasts.
roamed on every hand. Winter was
coming on, and death in its most terrible
forms stared me in theface.
I sat down and thought of my lonely
and exposed situation. But I could not
weep; my ‘heart was too full of woe. I
remembered the events of the preceding
weeks. The husband of my choice had
been murdered, and I was not allowed
the melancholy privilege of closing his
eyes and seeing hie remains decently in-
terred. My little property had been sto-
len, and when within it few day's march
of sympathising friends I was captured
by savageg, and after three weeks of in-
descrioable suffering, found myself wan.
deriug solitary and destitute in me midst
of the wild prairies. My cup was filled
to overflowing, but I resolved to live in
‘hope, if I died’ in despair’.
After remaining three days in the place
where -I‘ first concealed myself from the
Indians, I went to a grove about half a
rifle distant, and built a little house of
bushes and grass. Here I lived nine
days. My only food was the blackber-
ries which grew on the bushes around. I
quenched my thirst at 3 spring near by.
My wounds pained me exceedingly, and
I wasted to a" mere skeleton for want of
proper nourishment. . It rained upon mi
seven night: in Iucceuion, and m)’ “me
home was unable to protect me from the
coldatorms.» More than once I spent I
sleepless night, perfectly drenchfid in “in
while the wolves sometimes coming with-
five steps of me, would make the woods
ring with their frightful howlings. They
would also follow close behind me when
I went to the npring during the day; I
expected some time to be devoured by
them; but they are great cowards. and I
could easily frighten them away.
When I step: I would dream of seeing
tablecsprend with an abundance of every
kind of food; but when I-Ittékclled form
my hand to satisfy my hunger tho effort
would awaken me, and I would find my-
self weeping bitterly. ,

Mexican traders passed by on their way

or four of the party who happened to be
some distance behind. They immedi.

to take me with me with them, and I
gladly bade farewell to my house in the
woods. The Mexicans put me upon a
bmvo and gave me a blanket andsome
men’; clothing in which I dressed myself
very comfortably.
Two or three days after this‘ we came
in sight of a band of Camanches, and as
it was not safe for me to be seen by them
I was left behind in a ravine, witltthe
promise that the Mexicans would return
for me at night. As thay did not fulfill
their promise, I started toward their
camp; about midnight while wandering
among the bushes, a Camanche Indian
-passed within twenty steps. I thought
I was a captive once more, but fortunate.
ly he did not see me. I threw myself‘ on
the ground and waited for day. In I the
‘morning I started again for the camp of
Mexicans,'but,before"I reached it, I was
discovered by one of the trading party,
who was herding the animals. ' This
nian is’a Puebla Indian, of Ildefonso
undid named Juan Jose.‘ -To him‘1nore
thin‘ ‘to ‘any man in the party, I owe my
.‘1fy‘present freedom. ‘
- He told me the camp was ‘full of Ca-
Vmanches, andif they saw me it would
be impossible for the party to save me.
He made me lie down on the ground
while he covered me with dried grass. 'I
lay here all day, and at night crept forth
to quench my almost intolerant thirst.-
Juan came and brought me some bread,
and told menot by any means to leave
my hiding place the next day. That day
dragged slowly along, and I could hear '
the dreaded"Camanches' passing and re-
passing, and shouting to each other ; at
uight‘Jua‘n‘ returned, bringing :m..:,hei-
blanket and severalloaves of bread, and
told me that I must remain here for sev-
en or eightidays longer, as the partf. was
obliged to go further on, and"-could not
take me unless I_was willing to become
9. captive once more. I saw, the party
disappear the next day, and it seemed as
if my hope of rescue disappeared with
them. But Iresolved to wait till the ap.
pointed time was up. .
In a ravine near by I found a large log
which had been left burning. Tl i- fire
I kept alive day and night until the Mexi-
cans returned, and without itiI should
probably have frozen to death, as the
weather had become very cold. I cov-
ered a hollow cotton wood stump with
leaves to keep out the cold wind.-—
When I could endure the cold no longer,
I would leave my house and run [0 the
fire, but was afraid to stay there long,

stump they would come and scratch

from starving to death.
The eight day passed slowly by, and I
knew not whether to give way to hope
or despair. But on the eighth I heard
several persons calling to each otlr-r. I
feared they were Indians, but they be.
longed to the trading party, and were on
their return to New Mexico. The y had
lost the place where I was concealed, and
were shouting to attract my attention. I
was so overjoyed that I rushed toward
them unmindful of briars and sore feet.
Juan gave me it fine horse to ride, and
thewvhole party treated me with the 11:.
most civility and kindness. l-. - » 34th
day of our return toward Ne.. .'ico,
we reached the town of Pecos. .1-ere I
met Major Carleton and Mrs. Adams, of
the United States Army, who tool; the
deepest interest in my comfort. Here I
laid aside men's apparel, and was f urnish-
ed with a supply from Mrs. .»\’s ward-
robe. After remaining at Pecos a few
days I was conducted to Santa _Fe by the
son of Gov. Meriwether.
To Gov. M., and also to the American
ladies of this place, I cannot be too thank-
ful for their friendly sympathy and uni-
form kindness. _
The past seems like a horrid dream. 1

the sufferings of mind and body which I
have endured. My two brothers-in-law
are still captives, and unless reclaimed

The Mexicans saw them with the Ca-
manches, but were unable to procure
their freedom; one is twelve years old,
the other ten, and unless the strong arm
of Government is lifted up for their re-
demption, there is no hope for them.
