To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No Brant has written the his- tory of the Six Nations, and left for our perusal " the story of their wrongs. " " Their yell of vengeance, was their trump of fame, Their monument, a grave without a name. " TRYON COUNTY. 191 I here close this little sketch of our border warfare. Every person will readily perceive how difficult it is to collect materials for even such a sketch, where the few tattered and moth-eaten documents are to be sought for among many persons, and when the authenticity of man...y events long gone by, rests upon the frail basis of human memory. It is very possible, therefore, yea, very probable, there are omis- sions, perhaps errors, in this volume of Annals. I shall be satisfied, however, if 1 shall have succeeded in rescuing from oblivion, any materials, however few or small, which shall be useful and important for the future historian of this State, for that architect whose lot it shall be to rear a monument more durable than those of stone — " that loftier monument on which, not the rays of the setting sun, but the rays of a nation's glory, as long as letters shall endure, will con- tinue to 'play and linger on its summit/" Since 1776, revolution has followed revolution; but how- ever splendid in their commencement, or successful in their termination, in the eye of the American, they eclipse not that which terminated in his country's independence.
