To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The next year the Commis- sioners sent Capt. Atherton with twenty men to collect ^ ' it. Pessicus tried in vain to avoid an interview while" he assembled his warriors. Seeing this, Atherton forced his gept way, pistol in hand, into the wigwam, and seizing the sa- ^• chem by the hair, dragged him from the midst of his at- tendants, threatening instant death if any resistance Avas offered. This summary conduct, which reflects more credit on the courage of the Captain, than on the justice or the- ...policy of his government, produced the desired re- sult. The debt was paid. The troopers dej)arted, leav- ing behind them, in Indian memory, one more act of wrong and insult to ranlde till the day of retribution. From the murder of Miantinomi, down to the savage ex- pedition of Atherton, the whole seven years is filled with acts of aggression and of unjust interference on one side, and with the haughty protests of an injured, a high-spir- ited, and a feebler race of Indians on the other. 200 HISTOEY OF THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND.
