Indian atrocities

TO THE PUBLIC.The two following Narratives were transmitted for publication in September last, but shortly afterwards the letters from Sir Guy Carlton, to his Excellency, General Washington, informing that the Savages had received orders to desist from their incursions, gave reason to hope that there would be an end to their barbarities. For this reason it was not thought necessary to hold up to view what they had heretofore done. But as they still continue their murders on our frontier, these Narratives may be serviceable to induce our government to take some eflfectual steps to chastise and suppress them; as from hence they will see that the nature of anIndian is fierce and cruel, and that an extirpation of them would be useful to the world, and honorable to those who can effect it.Auguit 3,1782.
