Extract of letters from Fort Prince-George [in Cherokee
nation, South Carolina], Keeohwee, Oct. 15, 1760 . . . Oct.
27, 1760. . .[narrative of Indian barbarities] with the most
brutal rites and ceremonies; who can tie a man to a stake,
stick his body full of lightwood splinters, light them, and
oblige his wife and children not only to be present, but to
dance with and join them in their diabolical rejoicings;
who, after a while, will untie the prisoner, cut off one
hand or arm, and make him dance with them; then another; and
then a foot or leg; and so on, 'till their are obliged to
move him about in the dance without hands or arms, legs or
feet, till he expires in the most exquisite agony of
torture. . .
