Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
The opposition store, with three men, was about sixty rods from mine. The Indians in this section were, at this time, considered the worst and most dangerous in all the country, but about
the best hunters and trappers of valuable furs, and it was a very important post to be maintained. I was successful in taking in a large lot of valuable furs, such as beaver, otter, martin, mink, fisher, bear, coon and muskrat and doeskin. My men were absent from home most of the time gathering furs from the Indians; therefore I was alone and experienced many unpleasant affairs, a few of which I will relate.
