teezee,
I'm really glad you enjoyed the write-up. All the routes seem to turn out to be very interesting, and this one was better than average.
As for Captain Phillips and his 14-year-old son, Elijah, I should have added that they were taken to Detroit and eventually freed, so they lived to tell about the torture and massacre they witnessed. Captain Phillips regretted his surrender to the Indians for the rest of his life, although he really had no choice.
