Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Account of Bouquet´s Expedition: Against the Ohio Indians, in 1764 The general peace, concluded between Great-Britain, France and Spain, in the year 1760, although viewed in different lights by persons variously affected in the mother country, was nevertheless universally considered as a most happy event in America. To behold the French, who had so long instigated and supported the Indians, in the most destructive wars and cruel depredations on our frontier settlements, at last compelled to cede all Canada, and restricted to the western side of Missisippi, was what we had long wished, but scarcely hoped an accomplishment of in our own days. The precision with which our boundaries were expressed, admitted of no ground for future disputes, and was matter of exultation to every one who understood and regarded the interest of these colonies. We had now the pleasing prospect of "entire security from all molestation of the Indians, since French intrigues could no longer be employed to seduce, or French force to support them." "Unhappily, however, we were disappointed in this expectation. Our danger arose from that very quarter, in which we imagined ourselves in the most perfect security; and just at the time when we concluded the Indians to be entirely awed, and almost subjected by our power, they suddenly fell upon the frontiers of our most valuable settlements, and upon all our out-lying forts, with such unanimity in the design, and with such savage fury in the attack, as we had not experienced, even in the hottest times of any former war."
