| | A Talk with Col. Samuel Baker of Marshall County (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | John Baker, my grandfather, was a Prussian, and he came to the United States in the year 1755. |
 | | Extricating himself as soon as possible, and throwing away his arms to lighten himself, he ran for about a quarter of a mile, when seeing a very large Redskin approaching him, directly in front with a pistol in one hand and a tomahawk in the other, he saw that escape was impossible and stopped. |
 | | Baker here found that during his absence his father had moved to the Round Bottom, whither he went, and when summer opened they all went to Fort Tomlinson. |
