Side A
Commemorate event in early history of Vermont. Captured by Abnakis for ransom at Fort No. 4, Johnson family, Miriam Willard, Peter Labaree, and Ebenezer Farnsworth camped here 30 August 1754 enroute to Montréal. The next day a daughter was born to Mrs. Johnson in a shelter made by the Indians about one-half mile up Knapp Brook.
Side B
Enduring many hardships the party went on with their captors to Montréal where the captives were sold or turned over to the French for ransom. After six years the Johnson family was, by various means, reunited in Charlestown. The other captives had been freed as well.
