The author explains that as he was traveling in 1820 he met a man who had been an early settler in Kentucky and told him some “interesting anecdotes of Indian warfare”. Metcalf decided to continue to collect such stories about the early settlement of the western countries before they would be “consigned to oblivion”.

-Adam Poe’s contest with two Indians
-David Morgan’s remarkable encounter with 2 Indians
-Adventures of Jackson Johonnet
-Narrative of Mrs. Woods and a little Girl
-Attack of the Indians on Cooper’s Run

-Expedition of Generals Scott and Wilkinson
-Defeat of General St. Clair by the Indians
