Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
Government officers and traders misuse them, rob them of their reservations, their game, and often of their wives and daughters, at which they feel injured and abused. I often think they are not so much to blame, after all. During this winter two parties of Indians came to the store from different sections, and of different totems, between whom a feud existed, of long standing. After trading their furs, they had a drink together, and began to talk up the old feud. Gravenrod and myself made up our minds there would be trouble, and we must guard against it as much as possible. There were about twenty, and they were outside the store.
