Early Detroit
Detroit, says the narrator, never saw such a collection of people. They were admitted to the fort and supplied with ammunition. The Foxes, from being the besiegers became the besieged. For nineteen days they held their position with wondrous valor and endurance. They dug holes in the ground to protect themselves from the firing of the besiegers. They could not go out for water or food, and their women and children died with hunger and thirst. When the Indian allies took prisoners they shot at them for sport and then burned them.
