Wau-Bun: The "Early Day" of the North-West
John H., Mrs. KinzieYoung Kinzie’s life had been a continual romance, but it was no
less so than that of his first love. During one of the numerous forays
over the Virginia border, made by the Shawanese during Lord
Dunmore’s War (1774), a band of these barbarians swooped down
upon the rude cabin of Isaac McKenzie, who had established himself
at the junction of Wolf’s Creek with the Kanawha River. McKenzie’s
wife was killed, but their two young and beautiful children, Margaret
and Elizabeth, were borne away to the great Shawanee town of
Chillicothe, in what is now Ohio. Here, in accordance with Indian
custom, the girls were adopted into the family of a chief, one of
whose squaws was assigned to their tender rearing.
