Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
(the thieving Indians from the bands who had cun
ningly brought about the stampede for the sake of plunder) would rob the camps of what they wanted, and escape to their homes with, perhaps, their summer supplies of fish, and often of sugar and dried venison. I have met them fleeing as above; sometimes twenty or more canoes; have stopped them and tried to induce them to return, and we would go with them (as we were going by their camps); but no, it was the "Manesous, " they said, and nothing could convince them differently, and away they would go, frightened nearly to death.
