A narrative of the horrid massacre by the Indians of the wife and children of the Christian hermit, a resident of Missouri with a full account of his life and sufferings, never before published
A rewritten version of Thomas Baldwin's "Narrative of the massacre, by the savages, of the wife and children of Thomas Baldwin," first published at New York in 1835. Thomas Baldwin, "the Christian philosopher," here becomes James B. Taylor, "the Christian hermit." Certain facts have been changed, and though the wording varies, similarities to the original text are unmistakable.
