- In this episode we read from the 1838 book by Jospeh Pritts titled, "Incidents of Border Life." This story tells of some of the first events in the French and Indian War where settlers were captured and killed by Indians.
This tells the story of the massacre of the Jordan family, after they were taken from their home in Cambria county, Pennsylvania in 1807.

You are doing important work. Keeping our ancestry alive one story at a time.
We come from strong, brave, and capable people. I love hearing about their life and times.
Hearing stories like this only justifies to me,
'Manifest Destiny'
Not all tribes did this. War is war, it was what it was. No need for justifications in relation to the past.
Its honestly so easy to understand why these people were hated.
The largest massacre in US history before 911 was probably fort Mims. 500 men,women and children done in around mobile Alabama. Our modern history is awful kind to the natives
That was very interesting. I feel his story was a true account of his suffering. Thanks and cheers.
This was a tough one. So much detail about his torture and that of other's he witnessed.
It’s horrific, but I’m glad he lived to tell his story. I believe him. There were tribes that fought with each other and tortured them too.
Of course. But we are told they were mostly peaceful. 😅
It’s ironic that people want to say the Europeans treated the Indian ‘s so badly to take land. but if you think about it they did nothing different than what other Indian tribes did to other Indian tribes. They massacred each other they burnt down the villages they killed everybody, including women, child, and Man to get land of their own, which caused other Indian tribes to lead the land to conquer other lands.
@@alisterx8698what your saying is projection everywhere in european history all they did was kill rape and murder eachother for better farm land
@@alisterx8698the literal man who “discovered” america wrote himself “these people are way to nice and respectful and would make great slaves and would be easy to exploit” if what you said is true why didnt they kill christoper the second him and his men got off their ship? why did they allow europeans to even settle with them? you are speaking from a racist ideology
@@alisterx8698and of course there was wars do you think the natives just lived in harmony? its human nature to fight were seeing it today with european on european conflicts and for what? land and resources
Such barbarism that goes unheard among many.
...willfully.
remember when the vikings invaded britain? or ireland? or france? barbarism from white people is a thing dont act like the natives were the only ones fighting eachother 😂
It is actively concealed by Leftists.
Actual history is the best kind
I greatly appreciate what you're doing for our people. God bless you and your Kin
I always found it Ironic that people think the Europeans treated the Indians so badly to take land. Because Indian tribes were destroying other Indian tribes burning them down, destroying everybody in there woman, man, and child which caused them to flee and take out other Indian tribes to conquer that land.
Exactly right.who genocidally wiped the Covis people in n. America?why,the not so rear stained saints of the so called deeca iriquos , Delaware, ad. Shawnee, that's who.
Definitely true! Read the narratives The Frontiersmen and Wilderness Empire by Allan W. Eckert . These folks in this story were mellow compared to the eye witness accounts in Eckert’s books!
Thanks after hearing many of these stories I find it hard to imagine they left any of the natives alive. Thanks for the history
Absolutely true.
Our ancestors overcame so much to build a civilized nation. We must keep what they created without apology.
This historic story is definitely true. Terrible things were done to immigrants by the North American Indians that they are now ashamed of. Changing a cultural precedence is difficult to do. Look at the Middle East today. Well done.
No one today from either side should be made to feel ashamed for things they didn't do, Jesus said that everyone will be held to account for their own sins not for the sins of others. thats why He came to bring reconciliation of all humanity to our creator.
Are you ashamed of the genocide white people inflicted on the native population? They were literally fighting for their survival.
Great story! Thanks.
These always shock me, they are so brutal. Thanks for reading it!
True Story.
Love and greetings from Germany.
Great reading, thank you.
Thanks for the history 🍻
I think his story was too detailed and accurate geographically and inside the incidental history to be made up. Of course, it should be easy to confirm by a real historian by checking if the families he listed as raided and murdered are true.
Indian pudding.....my God the savagery is chilling
Damn right 💪
I did some research, and Google for pages says it's a molasses bread slop. The settlers ate but found out deeper that the bread pudding is a cover-up and a lie. Some of the natives were very barbaric
@@DixielandTreasures to you
@@Cattrezso you’re enjoying the series
When I was a child, I was helping clean up and clear out an old barn from the 1700s near Wilksbare, PA. We found several Indian war clubs and a tomahawk plus a musket that was stored in the ceiling area concealed. The original owner of the farm had fought in the revolutionary war and was at the battle of Wyoming PA. We found forgotten war trophies.
To hear the modern Indian descendants describe it we just came and took everything. The tale of the noble savage continues to be destroyed they were just outright savages and that's that
Well, we did come and take it, there was cruelty on both sides. No way to fix it now, but certainly interesting to learn about.
Unworthy history is propaganda free !!!
Well told and good enunciation, I shall subscribe.
It certainly would be flying everywhere, you got a chuckle outta me brother, may the Most High Father bless you & keep you
Blessings Shalom fam 🫀
What happened to his wife? The Indians killed her? 😢
Cowards attacked women and children in my opinion

@@jamesmain8395 I’m wondering if he is referencing a Hollywood movie as a historical occurrence
Wth was up with those French tho??
Wow they were savages. Clearly the settlers couldn't peacefully co-exist with them.

@@JohnnyDanger36963 great movie but, a total fiction.
@@StDavidpipes That's a stretch.
@@drivebyquipper your opinion is respected.
Great video, thanks
Whether true or an assortment of others experiences I don’t know but these Indians were certainly cruel enough to have done all this
I would tend to believe his account.
@unworthy history , have you considered a video covering the story of Mary Rowlandson in Lancaster Massachusetts?
Great suggestion, thank you! I need to do more northeast history.
The same happened to my family in Pennsylvania. After they murdered my patriarch, the indians enslaved his young son. He was never to be seen again. My matriarch, alone, raised their 5 bairn and kept their lands from predation.
People just can't see the forest through the trees. Most Indian tribes of those days, would have have given the Scandinavian Vikings a run for their money. Don't be fooled, they had become experts in their style of warfare after centuries of incessant butchery against their tribal counterparts across the American continent . They were capable of any kind atrocity imaginable towards one another, so when Europeans showed up they were fresh meat on the table. Warriors were judged by the loot they could gather and bring home after returning from these forays. They were not only also judged for their bravery in battle, but also the damage they could inflict upon enemies including torture. Slavery was also a common practice throughout the tribes. Women were taken as sex slaves red, white, it didn't matter. I'm part Indian on my mothers side. My ancestors would have skinned and burned you alive and laugh about it over dinner. Don't fool yourselves. They were human beings capable of any atrocity known to man, but they could also be generous, kind and keep their promises.
Well said. I also have Indian blood have known first hand most of us should never drink. I also grew up in Pennsylvania and live now near susquehanna river. My grandfather grew up on a reservation and was very mean
@@chuckzimmerman3711 I see you have a nice German last name, mine is Ellefson from my fathers side. All 100% Scandinavian workaholics. 🙂 My mothers family has been for 400 years, and if you count the American Indian part of it, actually for thousands of years which to me is amazing. I have her European ancestors going back some 80 generations and it goes further. Liberal thought has placed the Indian culture on a shiny peaceful pedestal, not to be ever questioned. Mel Gibsons "Apocalypto" is one such case. It drove liberal Hollywood crazy along with the activist crowd. It was 100% accurate. The other side of the coin was, people in south America and Mexico sometimes lined up for a mile to see it. I did some research and it portrayed the warrior class of the "Holcane" tribe that were so ferocious, that they even Scared the Aztecs. Bucks County, Pa., is where some of my ancestors were from and one, or more married Algonquin women. Most of my Mothers ancestry is from further west in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. Her family names are on the Dawes Indian rolls from the 1800s. I have to get to work on balky KIA that has electrical problems. Nice to meet you. 🙂
Why doubt this account? It seems there are many like it.
These settlers are the blood,and backbone of America and the freedom we have today is because the great sacrifices of blood,sweat and tears
Laid down by our forefathers
I want reparations for my ancestors the white folks!
Savage is a good word
It seemed like a true story to me. However, ironically, I recently saw a video that said the Indian people, were peaceful, and friendly. And that stories of their barbarism, were very few ! They were just simple people, that wanted to be left alone.
Bull shxt
Savage people!
DANCES WITH WOLVES❤
Some nerve
If nothing else, it would have been good soil, for the production of Jack Crabb... (Little Big Man).
But when light is brought to the darkness of evil doings, the guilty will always cast dispersions on the light bearer.
Even so, there were many books written about the tales of the wild and open lands of the Americas.
Some were romanticized to be sure. Others were very genuine, putting the horrors and death of a savage land to paper.
If Peter's story was true, then why should he not make some small token, for his efforts, his loss and his mental anguish, at the hands of those that would see him in the least, as the 'enemy.' And at the worst, an animal that needed to be killed off?
Note he said the snow season was only two months long in 1753.
Snow season pretty much like we a u as lly have experienced in w.pa in 2023/2024??? Nothing odd or different about fluctuate in climate.
Global warming don't forget
Today it is accepted as an axiom that the Scaligerian version and the true history is the same thing. But it is not true. The historians who think that they study the 'ancient' and the mediaeval history in are fact analysing not the reality, but an artificial world, some fairy-tale phantom-mirage, created by the historians and editors of the XVII-XVIII cc. Today the historians use the distorted and edited texts from the XVII-XVIII mistakenly considering them as the 'authentic ancient primary sources'. The historians are immersed in a fantasy world, spending their entire professional life in it. They have no idea that this 'virtual reality' was concocted by their recent predecessors.
The made up world turned out to be complex, intricate and at first glance gives the impression of something very solid and consistent. But it is not so. Unbiased outside perspective, based on the objective methods of dating, rather quickly detects all the tell-tale signs of the sandcastle in the fairy tale construction. Further analysis results in this building collapsing.
For myself what I take away from the story is that Peter relies on the sovereignty of God to help him through the most excruciating times.
As far as his story being true or not it would be hard to determine unless you could prove the validity about the white people he came in contact with. He was very specific in naming these people if you could validate where their Farms were and if in fact they were in that location that he described. The barbarism of some of these tribes are well documented as well as the Revenge of the settlers for their actions. While none of this is taught as actual history today I'm glad you give us an insight into these old manuscripts because we can't know where we're going if we don't know where we've been.
Interesting.. 7 years if a biblical limit for forced slaves
Tend to beleave it was a true story
❤
Whew.
This story made very little sense to me, I can't remember any other instance recorded where they took old men and grown fight-capable men but killed the women and children ... also them burning horses in a barn rather than taking them ... am I the only one?
Update: just looked up "Indian Peter" ... I'm not the only one lol
People admire paleolithic, nomadic, violent,culture
Why?
IDK
It's what people are!
Didn’t hear them say what Indian tribe they were. Any guesses?
My guess is Delaware, but some sources say Cherokee.
@@unworthyhistory I Enjoy the channel as always. Thanks 👍🏽
The Cherokee wouldn't have been that far north was probably the Delaware being that far east but if they're being paid by the French they could have come out of the Ohio river valleys so it's hard to tell but Delaware would be my guess I'm from Winchester Virginia and family from all around that area who fought in the French and Indian War who were there since the late 1600s and are still there. My mom's family did come over on the Mayflower some of them we have family reunions with 3000 people or more. We were the first German settlement on the banks of the Tappahannock called Germantown. Just send it from two of the 13 families from there on and on. We've heard these stories like this in bulk since I was a child but this is the most detailed one I've ever heard
Sounds probable.
Helllo
How did his wife die ?
The story had much of a fairytale vibe, no explanation of his wife's death. I almost wonder if it was a compilation of stories he heard on the frontier. Hard to say, things like this certainly happened.
I believe some of the accounts of torture is wholly exaggerated. Especially the cannibalism part. Just IMHO
Cannibalism was ubiquitous among North American Indians. It's not some historical exaggeration.
Torture meant that the meat was infused with adrenochrome if consumed soon after.
Allegedly*.
You should just do more reading and educate yourself this is not uncommon
Every settlement on the Western frontier was in danger of being attacked by Indians... WHOSE LAND THEY HAD STOLEN. You should include that part.
Stolen? The settlers would have, and did, trade with the native peoples. Trade made the life of the native peoples better, not worse. There was plenty of land for everyone. It was a culture of death and destruction that kept the native peoples struggling to survive.
"They" weren't and aren't one people, but many tribe. They routinely killed each other for possession of hunting lands waaaay before anyone else got here.
The indigenous had no concept of land ownership
How so? The savages never held title or had distinguishable borders. How can you judge when you are enjoying your life on the same ground where they trod? Why don't you give your property to the nearest tribe to absolve yourself of guilt?
@@nebraskafarmer9015there was plenty of land for everyone and yet most Native Americans live in poverty? How about I build my home on your property? Trade made them dependent on goods that they never had a use for before white settlers. I wouldn’t say that it made their lives better?
All these derogatory comments regarding Native Americans, they didn't invite people from elsewhere to invade and take their land by force.
These practices were also unleashed by some tribes on other tribes. Long before that time and after. It is not derogatory it's reality. Do you think they just made up these tortures on the fly.
Of course they didn't invite anybody into their homelands but they were killing each other like crazy and torching each other like crazy before we got here so I'm tired of hearing how much we treated them so badly. This is obvious they were Savages and their stories about this in our family and in my town for hundreds of years. This isn't new news
Sorry, this too brutal to consider. I cannot wrap my mind around it, at all. I'm truly sorry people were painfully reminded that they were invading territory that did not belong to them. And, sadly, they paid the price.
Oh, please. 🙄
The ones you call invaders were here escaping from tortures they were enduring on the other side.We are hearing what life was like during times survive or die at another’s hands.
The savages that attacked our people were obviously prejudiced and xenophobic, wouldn't you agree? The settlers were only looking for a better life...or are you saying that it is the right thing for a people to treat any outsiders that come in such a fashion??? You can't have it both ways.
Look at how the native peoples benefitted from the white settlers. Had the natives lived in harmony with the whites they would have fared much better. They would have had access to a steady supply of food, superior tools that made their life better, better clothing, peace with other native peoples. Like the people of Britton benefitting from Roman conquest, the native people greatly benefitted from white settlement.
@@justjosie0107 Do you get the impression that the same people who believe that the settlers deserved such treatment, also believe we are now obligated to allow anyone to enter our country unvetted?
