Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
He had dropped his knife. We got the advantage of him, so his brother could hold him. They told me to get a rope and we would tie him. Hearing this, he begged us not to tie him, and he would give up and be quiet. Tying is something an Indian fears and looks upon as degrading. While this was going on, Gravenrod got the others out of the store and started them off to their camps.. It was now getting dusk. I spread some deer skins beside
the chimney, in a corner, and his brother got the old man to lie down, and he soon got to sleep, and his brother watched him all night.
