     Includes an unpublished manuscript written between September 1879 and June 1881 by Franklin McNeal.  It tells the story of John McNeal's life before and during the time he was in captivity by the Delaware Indians and remained with them for 7 or 8 yrs.  His capture was about the year of 1756.  He remained with the Indians until the Boquett Treaty in 1764 by the terms of which the whites were to give up all prisoners and the Indians were to give up their prisoners.  Had it been left to his own choice he probably would have remained with the Indians, as they were always very kind to him. When he was first captured he was adopted into an Indian family that lost a son the same age.
