Dorothy Scudder, a Girl of the Wilderness
Posted June 29th, 2008 by gls1943I was looking through some Scudder papers and found a short story written by J.A. Rayner. It is undated. The title is "Dorothy Scudder, a Girl of the Wilderness." The author claims that his story is historically correct. The subject, Dorothy Scudder, is a young girl of the Miami Valley in Ohio. She is captured by the Indians and the story tells of the adventure of her subsequent rescue. It mentions Tecumseh as a member of the child's "adoptive family." Dorothy is allegedly the daughter of Matthias Scudder, 1732-1827.
