To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Miantonomo, the sachem of the tribe, the early and tried friend of the fathers of Rhode Island, had been put to death in circumstances which gave to the deed the aspect of wanton cruelty and injustice. In vio- lation of an existing treaty, he had made war upon Uncas, the Mohegan chief, and was de- feated and taken prisoner in battle. The con- queror carried the Narragansett warrior to Hart- ford, where he placed him in prison, and sub- mitted his fate to the commissioners of the United Colonies.... It was in their power to save him, had such been their inclination ; but they asked the advice of " five of the most judicious el- ders, " who, seeing in the unfortunate sachem not only the violator of the treaty, but the friend of Roger Williams and Samuel Gorton, gave their opinion that he deserved to die. The commissioners accepted the decision, and Mian- tonomo was escorted, by a guard of soldiers, into the territory of the Mohegans, where he was put to death by Uncas, in the presence of some English, who were sent to witness the shameful deed.
