Maybe I kin give ye the main pints.

Them thar fellers belonged ter Cap.

Hough's company frum down Edwardsville way--greener then grass, most ov 'em.
They'd cum up frum sumwhar on the Illinoy, an' wus a headin' fer Dixon.
Never onct thought thar might be Injuns down yere, an' never kept no guard.

Them Injuns jumped 'em at daybreak, an' not a soul knew they wus thar, till they yelled.

'Twan't no fight, just a massacre.
