My mother was a pious woman and did not like me to grow up in the wilderness for it was the silly fash- ion of those times to ape the manners and dress of the Indians. My father was a shifty trader and very ventursome. He often had trouble with the people in these parts, who were Dutch and were jealous of him. He had a violent temper and was not easily bent from his purpose by opporsition. His men had a deal of fear of him and good cause enough in the bargain, for I once saw him discipline a ha...lf- negro man who was one of his boat- men for stealing his private jug of liquor from his private pack. He clinched with the negro and soon had him on the ground, where the man struggled manfully but to no purpose for your grandfather soon 36 OLD LETTER had him at his mercy. " Now " said he " give me the jug or take the consequences/* The other boat paddlers wanted to rescue him but I menaced them with my fusil and the matter ended by the return of the jug- In 1753 he met his end at the hands of western Indians in the French interest, who shot him as he was helping to carry a battoe, and he was hurried in the wilderness.
