The Scouts of the Valley

CHAPTER XIII
3/33

When they repassed Tioga Point, Timmendiquas and his Wyandots were still with them.

Thayendanegea was also with them here, and so was Walter Butler, who was destined shortly to make a reputation equaling that of his father, "Indian" Butler.

Nor had the terrible Queen Esther ever left them.
