Assimilation
(0)
The sons of Isaac Ruddle who assimilated with the Shawnee after the fall of Ruddles Station were Stephen, who was 12 at the time, and Abraham, who was 6. Stephen returned to civilization and became a minister and a missionary to the native people. Abraham appears to have lived his life with divided loyalty. Its hard to gauge the truth of some of these accounts as they are somewhat jingoistic.
[Abraham] was an adept in the use of a tomahawk, though his white blood restrained him from its more barbarous uses.
Both brothers were reputed to be tight with Tecumseh.
