To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It needed all the influence which the government of Pennsylvania could bring to bear to prevent the allies or dependents of the Five Nations from attacking these tribes and thereby involving the English in war. In 1719 we find one French, a leading Pennsylvanian, sent as an ambassador to the Conestago Indians, warning them not to be led into war by the Five Nations, and also in the true spirit of the founder of his colony adjuring them not to tor ture prisoners. 1 Such conduct is, he told them,... "a violent affront to our government and contrary to the law of the great King, who will not suffer it. " He adds a comment which must have seemed strangely at variance with Indian habits of thought: "men of true courage are always full of mercy. " A conference which Logan held in the following year illus trates the same difficulty. Two years before, the Governors of Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania had just succeeded in restraining the Five Nations from attacking some of the Eng lish allies.
