Simon Girty was captured and raised by Native Americans and later served as an interpreter as he spoke 11 different Native languages. Regarded as a troublemaker and a traitor, Girty went down in history as a villain. But was he really? Come and find out.

Program presenter, Dave Westrick, has worked to preserve the Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Fort Miamis National Historical sites for almost twenty years. He specializes in the 1794 era and has studied the life of Simon Girty for 30 years.
