4.9/5 (22551 ratings)

Description:One of the most dramatic tales from early pioneer America, the story of Tom Quick and his one-man war against the American Indians still arouses strong emotions to this day—especially amongst the descendants of his victims, to the point where his monument was attacked and taken down as recently as 1997.Born in 1734 of Dutch ancestry, Tom Quick lived in peace alongside the Indians for the first part of his life, learning their language, hunting with them, and discovering all of their ways. His path ran up and down the Delaware River, and Indians were frequent guests at the Quick household.The Indians, however, soon realized that increasing white settlement would ultimately deprive them of their land, and decided to attempt the extermination of all the Europeans along the Delaware. The Quick family were some of the early victims, and Tom witnessed his father being brutally scalped while still alive.It was this incident which determined Tom Quick’s future: at his father’s graveside, he took his knife in his right hand and his rifle in his left, and looking up to Heaven, exclaimed:"By the point of the knife in my right hand and the deadly bullet in my left; By Heaven and all that there is in it and by earth and all that there is on it; By the love I bore my father; here on this grave I swear eternal vengeance against the whole Indian race. I swear to kill all and spare none; the old man with his silver hair; the lisping babe without teeth; the mother quick with child and the maiden in the bloom of youth shall die. A voice from my father's grave cries, 'Revenge! Eternal Revenge!'"He acquired the title of “The Avenger of the Delaware” and the rest of his life was caught up waging war against the Indians. Soon his exploits became legendary—amongst both Indians and whites. Time and time again, he avenged Indian massacres with equal brutality, and somehow, even though often captured, he always escaped to carry on his private war. He seldom mixed with other whites, and was often only in the towns long enough to procure more ammunition in exchange for the animal skins from which he made his living—and then would disappear once again into the woods to pursue his deadly aim.Tom Quick’s story weaves in-between that of the early settlers, the brutal French and Indian Wars, and finally the American Revolutionary conflict. This no-holds barred description reveals in gory detail the brutal racial war waged between Indians and whites—and the British use of Indians to murder and attack settlers in early America.Tom Quick’s true story is one that is now suppressed by the dictates of present-day political correctness—but this does not affect its veracity or historical importance in understanding the dynamics of racial conquest and conflict.ContentsChapter I: Birth and Youth of Tom Chapter II: Death of Thomas Quick Senior Chapter III: Fate of the Carter Family Chapter IV: Defense of a Blockhouse Chapter V: Murder of Muskwink Chapter VI: Massacre of an Indian Family Chapter VII: Adventures at Hagen Pond Chapter VIII: Killing a Buck with Seven Skins Chapter IX: The Biters Bitten Chapter X: Capture and Escape of Tom Chapter XI: The Biters Bitten Again Chapter XII: Murder at Mongaup Falls Chapter XIII: Anderson and Osterhout Chapter XIV: Death of Graeme Chapter XV: Tragedy on the Shawangunk Chapter XVI: Attack near the Fantinekill Chapter XVII: Burning of Wawarsink Chapter XVIII: Tom’s Revolutionary Exploits Chapter XIX: The Scouts of Minisink Chapter XX: Bryant Kaine Chapter XXI: “John Land the Tory” Chapter XXII: Battle of Minisink Chapter XXIII: Adventure of the Sandburgh Chapter XXIV: Indian Stratagem Chapter XXV: Capture and Escape of Tom Chapter XXVI: Murder of Canope Chapter XXVII: Russ and Van Etten Chapter XXVIII: Battle with Panthers Chapter XXIX: Death of Tom Quick Chapter XXX: Captain JohnWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
