He
Befriended Me Greatly
Major
James Grant's September 1758 sortie on Fort Duquesne to avenge Braddock's
Expedition was met unexpectedly by spirited French and Indian resistance.
In the ensuing carnage, Private Robert Kirkwood of the 77th Highland
Regiment was pursued by four Indians and wounded. He later wrote that,
"I was immediately taken, but the Indian who laid hold of me would
not allow the rest to scalp me, tho' they proposed to do so. In short, he
befriended me greatly."
