Summary
On the morning of Oct. 16, 1755, the Hartman family house was attacked by native Americans. The father and son were killed, and two daughters, Regina and Barbara, were carried off. Much of this account includes qualifiers, such as "...as per tradition". The author states, "The latter story is a tradition, but tradition, which differs only from written history in being oral history, transmitted orally from ancestors to posterity, is often quite as reliable as the written kind."

Summary
"In this story of the career of Colonel Henry Antes. the attemptis made to present the life of one who was so identified withvarious movements in the development of the frontier of Pennsylvania,as to constitute him a representative character. He wasbrought into intimate relations with the men who stand out asthe controling thinkers and workers of the Colonial regime. Inhis earlier days, Benjamin Franklin and John Dickinson werethe dominant factors, and the political strife was on the problemof the limitation of the powers of the proprietary government.In his later days, Andrew Jackson was the cynosure of all eyes,and the era of internal improvements was being ushered in. Betweenthese two periods occurred the war of the Revolution, thewar of 1812, and the careers of Washington, Jefferson, Adams,Madison, Monroe, Hamilton, and their compeers. But the activitiesof Col. Henry Antes were not so much with these men aswith the men they were leading. As a local leader of the people,he represents the forces at work in the substratum of government.A study of his life shows us how our ancestors lived, and wrought,and became prosperous, while fair and fertile fields succeeded forests, and palatial edifices of brick and stone and marble arose from the spot where the log cabin of the brave pioneer had stood."
