JOURNAL OF PETER AUDRAIN, Esq.
Here are two stores for Indian trade kept by two Scotchmen, Anderson & McDonnall; their prices are behind any reason.
The different falls from Fort Defiance are ten or twelve in number, and most of them very dangerous, the water not being deeper than three or four inches in many places. Our boat had to be dragged over stones and rocks, and was so thatched that two men were kept constantly busy in bailing her, and an hour after she was unloaded she sunk. The country is rich and fine; most of the Indians, which were numerous and settled at Rodre-de-Oout, are gone with the British; but few are coming back now and then, finding themselves deceived by the English.
