To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There civilized Europe revelled with savage America, and ladies of education and refinement mingled in the society of those whose only distinction was to wield the bloody tomahawk and scalping knife. There the squaws of the forest were raised to eminence, and the most unholy unions between them and officers of highest rank smiled upon and countenanced. There in their strong- hold, like a nest of vultures, securely for seven years, they sallied forth and preyed upon the distant settlements of th...e Mohawk and the Susquehanna. It was the depot for their plunder; there they planned their forays, " and there they returned to feast until the hour of action came again. 1 Many men, including especially Butler's Rangers, obtained during their service in the Revolution a training for war that enabled them to render efficient aid to Great Britain against the United States in the war of 1812.
The Revolution ended in victory for the Colonies in 1783. The Canadian side opposite Fort Niagara then became the objective point of many of those colonists who sided with the British during the war, many of whom had here enlisted in Butler's Rangers, and many of them settled there; such settlements having been especially encouraged hereabouts by the British officials during the war.
