A month after the happy reunion in the wood, Edgar wedded the
beautiful girl who had led him to a father and a mother in the
wilderness, and not far from Fairfax Manor arose a stately mansion,
where the quartette peacefully and pleasantly passed the remaining
days of life.
To this day eleven miles south of Chillicothe on the Portsmouth road
is still to be seen the cave occupied by the hermit for many years,
and over it stands a monument, erected to his memory by the people of
Ross county, Ohio.
The subsequent life of Tecumseh, and his brother, the Prophet,
are too well known to be rehearsed here. Often, in disguise, the
great chief visited the home of the Hewitts, whose salt he ate with
welcome; but suddenly his visits ceased--he lay dead before Colonel
Johnson.
A few years subsequent to the incidents related in the foregoing
pages, Simon Girty met the doom he richly deserved. In Proctor’s
defeat he was literally ground to atoms by Johnson’s mounted men.
James, too, fell beneath the arm of white avengers; while Giangomah,
his tool, fell beside his chief at the battle of the Thames.
After his son’s death, Okolona, the old Medicine, fled to the neutral
Mingoes, where he died a natural death. It was upon his ears, that
Eudora’s shriek first fell, while he and the rescuing party stood,
horror-stricken, before the empty lodge, and its murdered guards.
And now, reader, having seen mystery unraveled, the actions of wicked
men result in good, and the triumph of right, in a startling drama
of the forest, we lay aside the pen, hoping soon to renew it for the
record of other scenes.
THE END.
