Peter Williamson

WILLIAMSON, Peter, Scottish author, died in Edinburgh, Scotland, 19 January, 1799. He was kidnapped when a boy at Aberdeen, and sent to this country, but he afterward returned to Scotland, where he recovered damages from his captors. He passed much time among the Cherokees, and on his return amused the public with descriptions of their manners, assuming the dress of a chief and imitating a war-whoop, he instituted a penny-post at Edinburgh, for which, when it was assumed by the government, he received a pension, and he was also the first to publish a city directory. It e was the author of "French and Indian Cruelty Exemplified" (Glasgow, 1758), and "A Brief Account of the War in North America " (1760).
