Excerpt from Daniel Webster: A Character Sketch

He came of age during the French war and enlisted about 1760 in the famous corps which was known as Roger's Rangers. In their desperate encounters with Indians and Frenchmen on the frontier, the rangers had their full share of hardship and danger, and young Web ster, strong in body, and brave by nature, won the re spect of his comrades in many a hard fought battle.

When the war closed, the young soldier, true to his pioneer instincts, built a log house in the northern part of Salisbury, (now Franklin) and here he brought his young wife, and began the life of a pioneer farmer, about the year 1763. At that time there was no civilization between him and the far away French settlements in Can ada. The primeval woods stretched away from his very door, in an unbroken forest which was the home of dan gerons wild animals, and the lurking place of treacherous bands of savages.
