To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The officers hesitated. But can it be doubted, that if they "had been really averse to the crime, they might have checked the vindictive spirit of their unprincipled subordinates? And had Col. Williamson been the brave man he is represented to have been, would he not have staked his life upon their defence, rather than that the unoffending and pious captives should perish? It was probably, therefore, more for the sake of appearances, and to devolve a part of the awful responsibility upon their ...men, than from any motives of mercy that they determined first to let it be put to a vote of the whole corps. Col. Williamson put the question, in form : "Whether the Moravian Indians should be taken prisoners to Pittsburg, or put to death :" and requested that all those who were in favor of saving their lives, should step out of their line and form a second rank. On this sixteen or eighteen stepped forward, and upwards of eighty remained. The fate of the Indians was thus decided on and they were told to prepare for death, a brief respite till the morrow being all that was granted them.
