" I will let loose the dogs of hell,
Ten thousand Indians, who shall yell
And foam and tear, and grin and roar,
And drench their moccasins in gore:
To these I’ll give full scope and play
From Ticonderoga to Florida..."
~ from the introduction to General John Burgoyne’s Orderly Book, page xxii ~
"Sir: I send you by one of our runners the child which we will deliver, that you may know what ever others do, I do not make war on women and children. I am sorry to say that I have those engaged with me in the service who are more savage than the savages themselves."
~ Joseph Brant (Thayendanega) at Fort Hunter 1780 ~ (a note that referenced the white militiamen allied with Brant's Mohawk warriors) : from The Life of Joseph Brant-Thayendanegea; Including the Border Wars of the American Revolution by William L. Stone
