The Lost Sister of the Wyoming Massacre of 1778: Frances Slocum Found Living Among Miami Indians
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2024
- In this episode we read from the 1838 book by Jospeh Pritts titled, "Incidents of Border Life." Frances Slocum was taken captive by the Delaware Indians when she was five years old, near Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania in 1778. She was found living among the Miami Indians in Indiana, almost 60 years later, in 1836.

When I was a young Lady ( 90s) I used to buy a lot of books from opp shops. I read an enormous amount of first hand accounts from the first and second world wars, most authors only book. Written from experience and first hand knowledge and possibly to help keep the demons at bay.
Opp yea you know me
Yes me too ,,,sadly today nobody want to read,,,😢.
@@riosdepr2010They don't want to or don't know how? Even sadder. No curiosity about history. No desire to learn.
What is OPP?
How have they not made movies with incredible stories like this? The writers in Hollywood only have to look back at our history rather than constantly remaking the same movies.
They would have to show racial violence which they refuse to admit existed. Also Americans could learn to be proud of their history if they knew the truth. Then they would fight to keep it.
For a good read, check out "follow the river " by James Alexander Thom. The book is fantastic, the movie, not so much. There's way to much left out to make a 2 hour movie.
@@SisterWomenThey would be proud if they spoke to the people of Belgium who love Americans for liberating them during WWII.
There are a huge number of westerns about white women kidnapped by Indians and later found. In fact the first Western was called "Kidnapped by Indians."
Because it goes against the leftist narrative that white men were the only ones who did anything wrong. Why do you think the only place you will ever hear this story is on a channel named unworthy history? It brings into question the integrity of people who have deemed the truth as unworthy.
I am from the nearby area of Peru, Indiana. My great aunt told me about the story of Frances Slocum about 1950 and that there was a book in the library about it. There is a Frances Slocum state park in Pennsylvania and there was one in Indiana until the Mississenewa River was damned up where it flows into the Wabash River. Now Indiana just has a Frances Slocum State Forest as the beach along the river was lost to the new reservoir built to help control floods on the Wabash River.
Another very interesting video and I agree with you about much of the woke history of today
I went to Frances Slocum elementary school in Marion, IN.
That thesis is strange. The fact was, she was stolen from her family, and adapted to Indian life. It seemed like the author of the thesis didn't care about the fact she was stolen and really should have lived in so called civilized society with her true family! 🙃
This is not what the author wants in the story , the story is just how it was.
When she was found by her family, she was between 65-75 years old, with children and grandchildren. She had absolutely no interest in going back to white society, and she barely remembered English. The government gave her a tract of land in Indiana Territory. She settled there with her family and members of the Miami tribe who refused to be relocated to Oklahoma/Indian Territory. Her heart, mind, and culture was entirely Miami.
Great story 😮
I really enjoy hearing it from the old books, I’ve purchased a couple you’ve read from in the past after seeing them on here, and wow what I’ve learned about my neck of the woods from it, thank you!
I often hike the lost sister trail here in Indiana. Beautiful river country
Thank you for dedicating your time to carefully research Francis Slocum! I live in Northeast Pennsylvania, not far from the Francis Slocum State Park. It's a beautiful place! So breathtaking and left relatively untouched, aside from Pavillions for cookouts and picnics, the playgrounds, and a beautiful pool. I grew up going to the State Park to swim, and my family always had their family reunions there.
The lake, the trails for hiking, the park is so special to those of us who are from the area, and the rich history deserves to be told correctly. You did an amazing job! On my mother's side of the family, her ancestors were involved in Sullivan's March. They were from Falls PA. They marched and fought, and returned home with Native American wives. Seneca. It's all so fascinating!
Really good story! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Truly appreciate the comparison between the century old story and the modren critical theory, nonsense thesis. Our ancestors, all, are horribly disrespected as the horrible oppressors or weakly oppressed. The poor young woman writing her version of this story should be pitied. Her worldview is post-modren drivel.
Reject all false dichotomies. All men are made in the image of God, and He chose to draw us out of a line of violent primates.
Great work brother
My 5th great grandfather Isaac Finch and his family were killed in this massacre.
There are a lot of good articles in the Indiana Magazine of History that I think would be great for you to read on your channel. Btw, I love the work you do in general!
Imagine Francis's progeny one day a century in the future looking for confirmation of her "story", and finding the new, bastardized version of her life written by bitter people who didn't believe her having been kidnapped was worthy of mention?
It's plumb disgusting that dead people can be exploited forever to advance a false narrative.
The cave /Rock over hang is located in Trucksville,Pa.in Kingston Twp. Off of Carventon Rd. My home town . Her captivors spent the night there after the battle.
Thanks for this video, I wonder what Ms. Schrader is doing for a living now.
It would be a good read on her own account of her life amongst the Indians.
I'm sure she would have an interesting story to tell!
Great channel thanks 👍
The Compassion of her brother moves me to tears.
Thank you for sharing this history. Of course Joseph Pritts account is the "worthy" history. It is upsetting to realize there have always been people who deemed themselves above all others so as to rewrite actual history.
As always a great story!
great video like! like!
I really enjoy your stories and find them interesting !,
Very interesting
I think that first of all Francis was not Indian. The monuments that bear her name were not established by Indians so why on earth would they major on something that had been so tragic Have the Miami erected a monument would be my question. I love your channel. I wish your readings were consecutive and longer i truly love your readings and thank you.
Fascinating story.
I’ve read a book about Frances Slocum about 25 years ago. In a part where she was grown & older about 2 white men came by for some reason & stayed around for a few days. During this time she was curious and asked one of them “ You know Slocum? “. He answered “ Yes, it was slow coming up here “.
Love ya man, but...
Wilkes Barre (berry)
Frances Slocum is my relative.
That paper at the end was sick. Justifying kidnapping because ‘white man bad.’
She was not Native American by choice, but by violence.
Nice work
Intresting history
She’s like my 16th great aunt. Her brother, Ebenezer would been my 16th(I think) great grandfather. They’re the only line of my family not to have come here in the mid 20th century.
I wouldnt read that thesis if you paid me well have the same garbage in Australia
There needs to be an additional monument put up stating she was captured by the peaceful indians for breading stock.
I have a book from 1932, The Fighting Men of the West with stories of Colonel Charles Goodnight and others. lmk if you would like to borrow it or get more info on it.
Wilkes Barre locals pronounce Barre with a hard E at the end.
I love the 1838 book
NEAR MY HOME NANTICOKE
Relations between indigenous tribes and white settlers is difficult to narrate! From colonial days on there were so many complicated interactions! Many of these relationships were friendly, many of both cultures wanted a peaceful future with the two getting along and living with each other. It is impossible to splify these relationships and come up with meaningful stereotypes!
In regards to the Schrader thesis (and other proto-historians) I find it interesting that they like to misrepresent historical facts using euphemisms. When a white family is murdered and mutilated, with women and children dragged away as captives, no doubt raped and used for slave labour (as was the lot of every indigenous female) or future ransom, these folks use terms like "adopted into the tribe" and "married". I have never heard an account of a native "marriage". Natives didn't "marry". The strongest men got first pick of the women who they enslaved and raped, The women had no say in what happened to them or with who. To call that a "marriage" is ridiculous.
That's not accurate at all. Children were more often than not adopted into the tribes and usually given to parents who had recently lost a child. Women were not always raped, and usually not by the Woodland/Great Lakes tribes. They did have to run through a gauntlet among many tribes, which was horrifying and violent, but it was used to test bravery and worthiness. Often, those that didn't pass the gauntlet would be sold to the French. Yes, many adult captives were slaves, but not the entirety of their lives. If they worked hard, learned the language, and adopted the customs of the tribe, usually an elderly couple would adopt them as daughters, and they would often marry, because the alternative would have been drudgery and loneliness. These captives weren't stupid, you did whatever you could to survive your circumstances and carve out some kind of life.
Often when it comes to American history, the historical perspective of Native Americans has been left out of the narrative altogether. History isn't one-sided, and the white American perspective has been bogged down with bias and racism for decades. Natives, for example, were not the original practitioners of scalping. The Irish and Scottish brought that practice to North America; it's an ancient Celtic practice.
I KNEW OF HER ALL MY LIFE BUT NEVER TOLD SO RICHLY I SIT IN MY HOME IN MISSISSIPPI SONS AS IF IM DEAD A WIFE GONE WHORING NO MATTER HOW POLITE SHE LIVES SIN MADE HOLY BY MAN SO FAR FROM MY HOME ALONE YET I LIVE
The university thesis relates exactly why your channel name is unworthy history, academics have destroyed true history.
How are you doing sir . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Most of your content about native Americans known for us in Arabic countries red indians . I gathered biography of famous figure you mentioned briefly here it’s frances stocum Delaware ( 1773- 1847 ) she adopted member of Miami known as Miami bear or little bear . She was born into Quaker family that migrated from Warwick Rhode Island in 1777 to Wyoming valley In luzerne county , Pennsylvania. On November 2 1778 when she five years old, she was captured by three Delaware warriors slocum family farm in Wilkes barres , Pennsylvania. Slocum was raised among Delaware in what is now Ohio and Indiana . With marriage to shpepoconah ( deaf man ) who later became chief , slocum joined Miami took name maconaauah . She settled with her Miami family at deaf man village along Mississinewa river near Peru Indiana . Story of frances slocum quickly spread . Her tale of captivity and her devotion to her adoptive tribe stunned white settler known as white rose of Miami. Frances slocum state park at Pennsylvania Kingston , luzerne established in 1968 . There are recreational area of lost trail in Mississinewa reservoir state forest are named in her honor . Her final resting race is worked with monument along banks of Mississinewa river in Indiana. Frances slocum lake was built to help control flooding in north branch Susquehanna river . When her brothers found her was 59 years old married twice and mother of four children. I hope you like my brief research. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .
Literature from the time was frequently inaccurate, designed to support the American side in their wars with the Indians. Notice how this video says that American soldiers were "massacred" in Wyoming, when in fact they were killed in battle. Ironically, many of the enemy soldiers were in fact settlers in Wilkes Barre who retained loyalty to the British crown.
That thesis is not worthy of being toilet paper. The end. The endless word salad that doesn't follow any logic, but instead, aims to put down everything documented by people from the past in favor of some silly ideology popular at university. Girl was KIDNAPPED and FOUND years later. Sure, finding out about her indian life WOULD have been awesome, but because she'd been KIDNAPPED, people AT THAT TIME did not feel much interest in her indian life. Had she GROWN UP with those indians, under different circumstances, im sure authors would've focused on her life among the indians.
What an awesome story.
I wonder what that little girl would have grown up to be like if she hadn’t been kidnapped by the Indians?
When her relatives found her and described her reaction to the truth of her past she didn’t seem to care much about it.
Is it likely the Indians treated her differently? Imagine the weeks and months after her capture. Did she grow up mentally disturbed from her trauma? She was forced to grow up like a stone age woman instead of a typical white woman we would have recognized.
There are also stories of young Indian children being orphaned and raised by white Christian families. I wonder what the adoptive parents told their Indian child about its different skin color.
Fascinating stuff indeed. We can only imagine what our lives would have been like if something similar happened to us!
You can tell which race was the enlightened one. Our media has romanticized the lives of the Indians and their culture even though it never improved over the centuries. They were still living as hunter gatherers for the most part.
I believe it was Christianity that unlocked man’s human potential.
The God of the Bible is quite real. Those who follow the example of Jesus in their own lives don’t seem to be tormented by the craziness around them. They let God be in control!
Perhaps you are right about Christianity being a major uplifting element here, but that is too ephemeral to reasonably quantify. Pragmatically, the myriad Amerindian lifeways persisted because they allowed those peoples to survive comfortably for thousands of years. Objectively, the advent of new cultures (including the Christianity you appeal to) and technologies changed that dynamic, and they were forced to adapt. Indeed, many of them jumped at the chance of new tech (iron, horses, firearms, etc.) that gave them an edge over local rival groups. (Make no mistake, though, I am horrified by and pity those kidnapped children, and concur which ones likely had better upbringings.)
But I would only reserve judgements for the moral and ethical standards (or lack thereof) for these people in those days, and am inclined toward charity due to the constant inter-tribal warfare they were subject to. In terms of technology, they managed comfortably without wheels (which require flat, even terrain to function anyway, and a nightmare to parse in mountainous terrain), even less so for pueblo cultures of the Southwest. For plains dwellers at least the migratory nature of their primary game left them constantly on the move, hence disincentivized establishment of permanent settlements and led to them readily adapting to the introduction of horses (re: wheels again, better at navigating irregular terrain).
Understand, while I am inclined to agree with you and see the introduction of Christianity as a net positive for theAmerica's, it is supremely myopic to judge cultures in terms of technological development save as an anthropological term of convenience.
The way the one writer wants people to stop viewing her story from the views of her white family and respect the Indian view is appalling to me. If a child was taken and essentially groomed by the ones that took them in our time. Would people believe showing respect and honoring the life that the abductors had forced on to the child would be the right? I believe showing respect to the culture who indiscriminately end the lives of entire families while they took the ones they saw as useful is a moralistic fallacy. Would they believe the same thing if white men had been raiding families this way. Absolutely not. They'd want reparations and reservations in atonement.
👍👍👍
True historians, will tell to question anything written after 1945.
