A brief account of the Byrams' 1779 captivity among the Seneca Indians in western Pennsylvania, followed by a substantial genealogical history of the Byrams and their descendants. This edition, published more than a half-century after the original, updates the genealogical tables through the first four decades of the 20th century.
