has abstract
| - Hugh Gibson (1741 - 30 July 1826) (referred to by Marie Le Roy and Barbara Leninger as "Owen Gibson") was an American pioneer and a Pennsylvania frontiersman. In 1756, when he was 14 years old, his farm was attacked by Lenape Indians and he was taken prisoner. He was adopted as a brother by Pisquetomen, a Lenape chief, and lived for three years with the Lenape, moving to several different communities. In 1759 he escaped, together with three other captives. Gibson told a brief, first-person version of his captivity narrative to Archibald Loudoun, who published it in 1811. At age 85, he told a longer version of his story to Timothy Alden, who published it in 1837, after Gibson's death. (en)
