A wonderful conclusion to the story of Indian Peter and a great tale of never giving up no matter the "setback". No "bad hair day" excuses there.

Surely a Holywood trilogy to follow , The life of Indian Peter , I would definitely go and watch that

I'm 5 seconds in and just want to say thank you for giving more of the Indian Peter story.

Nicely done as usual Bruce. That’s a complicated story to tell and you told it perfectly. Long live Indian Peter!

I vaguely remembered a family story, about one of my ancestors a Great Great Great etc Grandmother during the French and Indian War. She was captured on a raid by the Indians and rescued about 18 months later and returned to the Virginia frontier West of the Virginia city of Roanoke. This story had me look up the story. I greatly enjoyed the story of Indian Peter. Thank, you

In my long life of over 69 years, I am oft reminded that visiting with even the most unassuming individuals, one will often discover fascinating lives well spent, and full of adventure. Thank you for discovering and sharing Indian Peter's story with us. ❤

Success IS the best revenge! ✊ Indian Peter's story should be a series of movies or streaming episodes. To think that a poor farm boy, kidnapped indentured servant, could have not only had all those adventures, but become an inventor and influential entrepreneur in Edinburgh. And, he was like a pitbull going at corrupt Aberdeen! This is now one of my favorites, Bruce, would love to see more details or spinoffs. (I bet those prostitutes had some stories😉). Thank you! 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️😎

Eventually, Peter gets his compensation and has a more equitable life. Great story, Bruce.

Another great video by Bruce. I read Peter Williamson's book 'French and Indian Cruelty' and his time with the Indians and subsequently with the British army makes for some grim reading. The violence inflicted on both the settlers and the Indians was brutal. How he survived it is astonishing.

Thanks for identifying the his place of rest. I’ll have a look next time I’m through and have time. Have wandered that cemetery a couple of times.

Wow, thanks for that story. I visited that cemetery back in May when my family and I were in Scotland. We like walking around those places imagining who these people were. Now I know who one of them was. My wife is a McLaughlin. We found a grave for possibly one of her family members there, as they lived in Edinburgh before coming to the US.

A piece called “The Rabblers Rabbled” by William Meston of Aberdeenshire who was a Jacobite that was good friends of clan Keith and had at one point been governor of Dunnottar Castle, was reprinted by Peter in Edinburgh in around 1770. Quite interesting really as I myself do have a copy of this rare find of a book in my possession

Bruce mentioned he was not very familiar with the French side of history in the New France region of Canada. I humbly suggest reading the "Pioneers of France in the New World" authored by Frances Parkman publisher little, Brown and Company 1867. Many helpful citations in this book series.

Apparently the reason the coffee houses led to the enlightenment was that until then, the most common way to purify water was to ferment it - ie make beer. So everyone was only ever drinking beer. Then coffee came along, and suddenly everyone wasn't going around half-cut all the time and they could think clearly.

A'reyt Bruce. Is there an Indian Peter's coffee house today? If not, it seems the Scots need to get back that enterprising spirit. Get cracking and you would not need to ask for as many coffees? Folk could come to you for your tales, like they did for your subject of yet another exceptionally well presented video. I could see a base there for Scotland History Tours, Edinburgh sight seeing trips. Budding authors could pick up on traveller's tales, whilst buying your coffee and signing up to your internet publishing. A little treasure island (oops, no, wrong book for the video).
