Notes
Source note: From An illuminated history of North America, from the earliest period to the present time. (New York : Bill, 1856) Frost, John (1800-1859), Author.
Content: Printed on border: "Campaign of 1778." ". . . Wyoming, a flourishing settlement on the Pennsylvania frontier, was suddenly assailed, the slender militia force which defended it overpowered, and the inhabitants exposed to all the horrors of Indian vengeance and massacre. From the lateness of the season, only a few partial attempts could be made to retaliate. Next spring, however, General Sullivan was despatched with four thousand men, and joined by General Clinton with another division from the Mohawk river. They entered the territory of the Indians, who, quite unable to resist so large a force, abandoned their homes and fled before them. The villages were then reduced to ashed, every trace of cultivation obliterated, and the region rendered as much as possible uninhibitable. This rigour is said to have been authorized by Washington, and justified on the ground that without inteposing a desert between the states and this savage race, no security could be enjoyed on the frontier. / During the summer of 1778, the Indians, who had become very troublesome on the borders of Virginia, received a severe check from Colonel George Rogers Clarke . . ."
