To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This letter being inspected by the French, who knew the falsehood of the charge, they handed it to Lewis. He waited upon Grant,* and challenged him. Upon Iiis refusal to fight, he spat in his face in the presence of the French officers, and then left him to reflect upon his baseness. Major Lewis was with Washington July 4, 1754, at the capitulation of Fort Necessity, when, by the articles agreed upon, the garrison was to retire and return without molestation to the inhabited parts of the countr...y ; and the French commander promised tbat no embarrassment should be interposed either by his own men or the savages. While some of the soldiers of each army were intermixed, an Irishman, ex- asperated with an Indian near him, " cursed the copper-colored scoundrel," and raised his musket to shoot him. Lewis, who had been twice wounded in the engagement, and was then hobbling on a staff, raised the Irishman's gun as he was in the act of firing, and thus not only saved the life of the Indian, but probably prevented a general massa- cre of the Virginia troops.
