Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diary of the Siege of Detroit in the War With Pontiac: Also a Narrative of the Principal Events of the Siege, by Major Robert Rogers; A Plan for Conducting Indian Affairs, by Colonel Bradstreet; And Other Authentick Documents, Never Before Printed Notwithstanding the English found themselves Masters of Canada, by the Capitulation of Montreal in September, 1760, the French retained a Place in the Memory of the Indian Tribes which could not be alienated by Treaties; and this Regard, which was gained by a long Series of kind Offices and well-timed Presents, was strengthened rather than diminished by the Neglect and Ill-usage which these Sons of Nature received at the Hands of the English. There was no longer any European Rival to contend against; no Competition existed for the Monopoly and Profits of the Indian Trade, and no Risk of an Alliance with any civilized Power, to molest the long Frontier which had through many Years been desolated with Fire, and kept in Mourning by the cruel Hand of a lurking Enemy.
