Excerpt from A True History of the Massacre of Ninety-Six Christian Indians, at Gnadenhuetten, Ohio, March 8th, 1782 For a time the exiles roved to and fro, seeking a favorable locality for their stay over winter, and at length pitched upon a spot, situated on the East side of the Upper Sandusky, as the best they could find. Yet even here the country was dreary and barren, and they were at a loss to conceive whence the means of supporting so many should come during the' winter which had already set in. Their small stock of provis ions was nearly exhausted, and the missionaries had to depend upon the voluntary contributions of those members who had a little Indian corn left.
