There are many Gardner's mentioned--and it's an interesting read--complete with two!! scalpings--by Indians.The facts below are from p898 of "Commemorative Biographical Record of WA, Co PA" by J H Beers & Co, Chicago,IL, 1893. And thanks to Neil and Marilyn Morton of Oswego, IL for putting it on the Web.Here is the URL: www.chartiers.com/beers-project/articles/gardner-898.html
