Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
I have had them come from places miles distant, bringing their rifles to me, asking me to examine and re-sight them, declaring that the sights had been removed (and in most cases they had, but by themselves in their fright). I always did, when applied to, re-sight and try them until they would shoot correctly, and then they would go away cheerfully. I would tell them that they must keep their rifles where the '' Manesous " could not find them. At other times, having a little bad luck hunting or trapping, they became excited and would say that the game had been over and in their traps, and that they could not catch anything.
