Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
These two leading ones became the contestants, the rest of each party trying to prevent hostilities, and Gravenrod was . doing his best to separate the two, as they had clinched each other. I stood by the door, in the rear of Big Man. Gravenrod called to me at the top of his voice to pull Big Man back, for he had a knife and would kill As-see-nee-wee. I sprang and caught Big Man by the shoulders, and sprang back -with all my strength, separating them, and we all came down upon the floor. Old Man, his brother and two or three more all had hold of the old man, his brother and myself holding him down, and it was all we could do, the old fellow roaring and frothing at the mouth with rage.
