An Affecting narrative of the captivity & sufferings of Mrs. Mary Smith : who, with her husband and three daughters were taken prisoners by the Indians, in August last (1814) and after enduring the most cruel hardships and torture of mind for sixty days (in which time she witnessed the tragical death of her husband and helpless children) was fortunately rescued from the merciless hands of the savages by a detached party from the army of the brave General Jackson, now commanding at New Orleans. : As the proceeding pages will be found to contain a particular account of the engagement between the handful of Jackson's brave boys, and the party of savages, above alluded to--the reader may judge of what materials the hardy sons of Tennessee and Ohio are composed.
