Tom Quick, the Avenger of the Delaware, devoted his life to exterminating the few remaining Indians in northeast Pennsylvania. At the time this book was written, he was one of the great icons of American folklore and his exploits were the common fare of fireside storytellers and cracker-barrel old-timers. Today, Tom Quick is virtually forgotten. Political correctness recently motivated his hometown of Milford, PA to dismantle the handsome monument over his remains and replace it with an apologetic plaque. References to him have been eliminated from almost every local history.This book is the original biography of Tom Quick, published in 1851. It contains virtually every tale associated with the craft and cunning of Tom Quick, as well as many narratives relating to the early settlers of the upper Delaware Valley. Of special interest to historians are the chapters devoted to the Battle of Minisink during the American Revolution. The abridged version, published in 1894, lacks several key chapters, footnotes and the Appendix.This masterfully-crafted eBook faithfully preserves the original 1851 edition in its entirety and is fully-searchable and fully-printable.

One of the most dramatic tales from early pioneer America, the story of Tom Quick and his one-man war against the American Indians still arouses strong emotions to this day-especially among the descendants of his victims, to the point where his monument was attacked and taken down in 1997. Born in 1734 of Dutch ancestry, Tom Quick lived in peace alongside the Indians for the first part of his life, learning their language, hunting with them, and discovering all of their ways. His path ran up and down the Delaware River, and Indians were frequent guests at the Quick household. The Indians, however, soon realized that increasing white settlement would ultimately deprive them of their land, and decided to attempt the extermination of all the Europeans along the Delaware. The Quick family were some of the early victims, and Tom witnessed his father being brutally scalped while still alive. It was this incident which determined Tom Quick's future. Tom Quick's story weaves in-between that of the early settlers, the brutal French and Indian Wars, and finally the American Revolutionary conflict. This no-holds barred description reveals in gory detail the brutal racial war waged between Indians and whites-and the British use of Indians to murder and attack settlers in early America. Tom Quick's true story is one that is now suppressed by the dictates of present-day political correctness-but this does not affect its veracity or historical importance in understanding the dynamics of racial conquest and conflict. About the author. James Eldrige Quinlan (1818-1874) was born in the state of New York and owned the DeVoe and Quinlan Publishers in Monticello, NY. He was also editor of the Monticello Republican Watchman newspaper from 1838 until 1866. He won fame for his publication of Tom Quick the Indian Slayer in 1851.

Did you strike me a moment ago? Pomp. No. Quick. Something did. Pomp. I tell you, massa, it was an Injun. I seed him. He after my scalp. Oh - oh. Quick. You may be right, Pomp. Run to the house and get the gun. (Exit Pomp.) Is this the natural or the super-natural? Certainly, something struck me on the head. As Pomp says, it sounded like a drum. Enter Pomp with gun. Pomp. Now, massa, shoot em! Shoot em! Quick. Not until we have seen something to shoot. Pomp. Shoot de barrel, massa, shoot de barrel. Quick. No! You go and upset the barrel, and I will stand on guard. Pomp. If I find an Injun dere, I'll sarve him as Jonah did de whale - I'll eat em up. (Pomp starts for the barrel, shaking with fear.) Mr. Injun - Mr. Injun, now I hab you. (Dropping on the floor and crawling toward the barrel; is then seized with fear and rolls away, then crawls to the barrel and upsets it.) Dere he is, massa. Shoot'm! Shoot'm!
