INDIANS “The Indians, at their first settlement,
performed many acts of kindness towards them, (the settlers). The
Indians instructed them in the manner of planting and dressing the Indian
corn. They carried them upon their backs, through rivers and waters; and, as
occasion required, served them instead of boats and bridges. They gave
them much useful information respecting the country, and when the English or
their children were lost in the woods, and were in danger of perishing with
hunger and cold, they conducted them to their wigwams, fed them, and restored
them to their families and parents..”
