     The  Campbell Kids: July 4th, 1776, life changed for  the  six
     Campbell  brothers and sisters. They were captured near  their
     Ligonier home by Indians who smuggled them north to the  Kiski
     Valley, crossing the Kiski River near Saltsburg. Two daughters
     were released and two sons escaped a few years later. One  was
     sold  as  a  slave  and one was killed. Read more  interesting
     history  at  Our  Local  Heritage  at  above  site.  Click  on
