Nothing but Governor Stevens's prompt, aggressive, and masterly measures prevented the catastrophe. By many of the settlers the governor's treatment of the Indians was deemed too lenient and generous. They de- clared that Indians who received and concealed the visits of hostile warriors, and allowed their young men to join in the raids and fights, ought themselves to be treated as hostile, and warred down without mercy. On one occa- sion a worthy and intelligent clergyman pleaded long and earne...stly with the governor, urging him to attack and put to the sword the Indians on the Squaxon reservation, many of whom were Nisquallies, the tribe that had taken the lead in the outbreak. But the governor disregarded all such appeals, and remained as firm in protecting the friendly or merely disaffected Indians as inflexible in requiring the punishment of the murderers who first instigated the war by the wanton massacre of inoffensive settlers. Summary measures were taken with whiskey-sellers, when caught about the reservations.
