Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. 7: Selected and Arranged From Original Documents, in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Conformably to Acts of the General Assembly, February 15, 1851,& March 1, 1852 Honored Sirs, It is sometime since I had the pleasure of writing to you. Anxious for the welfare safety of these Frontiers, I wished if possible to drive the Savages to a greater distance; By acting on the Defensive only, this could not be effected. The times of the Militia were soon expired, we are now without any of them. I rec´d a letter from Mr Bryan, V.P., by which I understood Col. Morgan Butler were acting against the Indians on the waters of the Susquehana, this with our former Inclinations induced us to push an Expedition to Tioga its neighbourhood. I have wrote a letter to Congress, a Copy of part of which I inclose your Honorable Body, By that you will observe our Designs Rout. Considering our numbers we pushed our good Fortune as far as we dare, we gave a present relief to the Frontiers turned back the Barbarians from Deluging our Country with the Blood of Helpless Mothers Infants. They are a strange enemy, they shun Danger when among us, but near their own Country they fight brave, a number of circumstances happily concurred to give us the victory over them on the 29th Sept. I have wrote to Congress to request that another Regiment should be sent to Wyoming. The Indians are numerous as well as Tories. I must therefore request the Council will order one or two Classes from Lancr Bucks Counties to Northumberland. It is too late for an Expedition against Chemung this Fall, we must only secure our posts for the Winter early in the Spring, a Body must march against their Towns on this River, there are more Indians within 150 Miles of this, than within the like distance from Fort Pitt, where so many men are collected. I have made it my business to inform myself, what I write to the Board may be relied on. I could wish you would second my proposal to Congress. Capt. Murrow´s Comp´y of six months men have shared the fatigues and Dangers with us, they have rec´d but a small part of their bounty, do be pleased to forward some money for them by Mr. Carberry. We are here on a Dangerous service, which gives us few opportunity´s of gaining Laurels; we have a Vigilant Dangerous Enemy, but it gives us pleasure to think we serve our Country protect the helpless innocent.
