To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Queen Esther" was well known to many intelligent and reliable people in Wyoming Valley — as for example: Colonel Denison, Col. John Franklin and Lieut. Roasel Franklin — and they united in declaring that she was present and was seen bv them at the time of the surrender of Forty Fort. Other reliable witnesses — named hereinafter — testified as to her pres- ence and her conduct at "Bloody Rock." Peck, in his "Wyoming", gives an account (on page 154) of a visit which "Queen Esther" made to Wyomin...g in the Autumn of 1777, when she was seen and talked to bv Martha Bennet (later Mrs. Philip Myers), who also saw her at Forty Fort, at the head of the hostile Indians, on July 4, 1778. • At Fort Niagara, under the date of October 80, 1780, Col. Guy Johnson wrote to Governor Haldi- raand that the intemperate habits of Capt. John Johnston would necessitate his leaving the corps of offi- cers attached to the Indian Department. At Montreal, under the date of October 10, 1781, Captain Johnston wrote to Governor Haldimand that he was ready to go out "on a scout or an expedition." Captain Johnston's name appears again in subsequent pages.
