Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Documentary History of the Campaign, Vol. 9: Upon the Niagara Frontier; In 1812-4; December, 1813, to May, 1814 Sir, - Lieutenant-General Drummond, having determined to avail himself of the services of his brethen and allies, the Western Indians, in an attack on the enemy´s territory and fortress on the opposite shore, I have received His Honour´s direction to request you will assemble the several chieftains of those nations and will impress upon them in the strongest manner the expediency of abstaining from plunder and all acts of violence or outrage on the persons of women and children and unarmed men, and, even in the ease of prisoners taken in arms, the Lieutenant-General would willingly indulge the hope that, in conformity with the practice of their white brethren, the Western Indians will take a pride in shewing their clemency and forbearance. Indeed, I am commanded by the Lieutenant-General, that it is only upon their giving their promise and assurance of observing his wishes on this head that he can consent to employ them on the service above alluded to. Sir, - It appearing to Lieutenant-General Drummond that the present moment is highly favorable for an attack on Fort Niagara, I am directed to acquaint you that the Lieutenant-General has selected you to command the force to be employed on this service, and to add that it is his wish that the attack should be made this night if possible.
