To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Some Ottawa Indians fell in with an American scout- ing party near Ft. Edward. The Americans fled to their boats and crossed the river. The Indians fired but failed to hit. Whereupon greatly exasperated, finding a hog trough they placed their guns in it, stripped and swam across the river pushing the hog trough before them. The Indians gained the shore lower down than the Ameri- cans, surprised and took them, and brought them back in the bateaus over the river and delivered them to Gen- eral F...raser. The Captain of the party was taken also, badly wounded. Fraser quizzed him but he would give no answers, and behaved in the most undaunted manner. The General thinking that by showing him some attention he might gain the desired information, ordered him some refreshments. After examining his wound the surgeon said his leg must be amputated, which being performed, he was advised to keep himself quiet else lockjaw would set in. To this he replied with great firmness : ' Then I shall have the pleasure of dying in a good cause, that of gaining the independence of the American Colonies.' I mention this circumstance to show how cheerfully some of them will sacrifice their lives in pursuit of their favor- ite idol." The Captain died the next morning.* Indian Children Amphibious.
