Easier said than done, Brady. This
isn't Kentucky, and the conditions are
different. Those were hunters and
backwoodsmen who took possession Of
that land to the south. They came
alone, on foot, rife in hand, fighting
men every one. That was their trade.
These settlers who have come In
north Of the Ohio are Of a different
breed; they have brought wives and
children with them, and have come to
till the land. They are not hunters
and woodsmen; half of them never
even saw an Indian. They would be
as helpless as babes on a war trail.
st. Clair and Harmar are doing the
best they can under such conditions.
They have got to compromise; they
don't dare provoke war. The In
dians and the British know this is
true; Girty knows it, or he never
would have ventured to come in here
