A small remnant OF the Michigan now exists, and they

Thames. The government Of this tribe had become
hereditary in the celebrated Chief Uncas. During
the time Of my fathers mercantile prosperity, he en-
ployed several Indians of this tribe hunting animals,
whose skins valuable for their fur.-Among
these was one named Zachary of The roy race, an
excellent hunter lived. When he had some
