Excerpt from Leith Narrative a Short Biography of John Leith: With a Brief Account of His Life Among the Indians The design of the following work is to show the providence of God, in guiding his creatures through life, although their situ ation, at times, may be, to all appearance, dismaying, perilous and almost insurmountable. Mr. Leeth, the subject of the following pages, is now living and has long been a respectable member of the Methodist Communion. Having been directed, by an unseen hand, through all the vicissitudes of fortune, from the savage haunts of a bound less wilderness, to the peaceful shades of civilized society, with a competency to make his declining years easy and respectable, in the large circle of friends in which he moves, he may truly say.

Book Summary After the bloody battle of Culloden Moor in the 18th century; a brave Scotsman known as Henry Leith left Scotland to travel to the colony of America. After marrying a Southern Belle from Virginia they moved to South Carolina to start a family. Only to have their son captured by the Indians.
