Tecumseh said to Gen. Harrison that, "the Americans had driven the Indians from the sea-coast, and would soon push them into the lakes," and that he as one was, "resolutely determined to take a stand, and prevent, if possible, the farther encroachment of the whites upon the Indian lands."t
It was this idea of knowledge and Christianity, being the instruments of torture and oppression, that drew from the lips of the St. Domingo chief, Hautey, the memorable remark which has portrayed so much truth in so

few words. Having fled from St. Domingo to escape the oppression of the Spaniards, he was captured and ordered to be burned alive; this order was given by the governor of Cuba, Velasquez. When urged at the stake to embrace Christianity, he inquired if the white men would go to heaven? on being answered in the affirmative, he replied, "then I will not be a Christ- ian; for I would not go again to a place where I must find men so cruel."#
Were I sent forth to find men true and brave, I know of none to whom I should go sooner than to the Indians. Were their deeds of heroism em- blazoned upon the page of unfading history, a brighter light could not be cast upon the works of God.
I have been induced to make these remarks to mitigate, in a measure, the feelings that must have been harrowed up, by the perusal of the massa- cres contained in the last few chapters. I may be accused of being over- partial to the Indians; but I cannot persuade myself that such is the case, or that I have said one word too much for them, nay rather do I feel my inability to do justice to the lords of the American forest, with whom, the proudest of the proud, might seek an alliance.
The day of trial to the poor Indian has not yet passed, the whites are yearly encroaching upon the territory set apart for their residence by the general government. Lawless men, who seek only self aggrandizement, are daily insinuating themselves among the Indians, and selling to them intoxicating liquors-destroying not only life, but domestic peace, and fitt- ing the poor savages for the commission of deeds which will bring vengeance upon their heads.
If this custom is not arrested, we may expect to see the Indians con- tininue to dwindle away before the now powerful, but ungrateful offspring of their guests, driven hither by oppression, but a few hundred years ago. That all deplore this fact, who suffer themselves to reflect for a moment, none will deny. We seldom meet with an individual who is so dishonest as to claim that justice has been done the Indians even by historians.
With pleasure we recount the deeds of the heroes of past ages-each striving to color them highest-but amid all our labors, few wield the pen to perpetuate the deeds of heroism acted by the many brave war- riors who have figured among the American Indians. Why is this? Ah! the answer is plain-it requires much labor, and does not pay so well as those labors which are bestowed on a familiar theme. Hannibals or Napoleons may not have led their hosts of red-men to the battle-fields in the forests of America; but men with the patriotism of a Washington, have fallen battling for their homes. How many must be the daring feats which have been performed by these brave people; and how pure were those emotions which actuated the Indian father to leave his home, and all its endearments, to repel the advancing foe! How devoted must have been that Indian mother to the land in which reposed the bones of her boy? for it has not yet been proved, that civil- ization and love are inseparable.
It may be, that the obliteration of the Indian race, was but the work- ing of an allwise Providence, and if so, then none will complain. But that they might have been civilized, and brought to an understanding of the

truth of Christianity, is proved beyond a doubt, by the present condition of the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes. In college, the Indian boy has not been found deficient; nor can I subscribe to the opinion, sometimes expressed, that they are an inferior race of men. Circumstances have conduced to make them such-but instances have not been wanting, where the unfavor- able conditions have been removed, of great depth of mind, and general vivacity of intellectual powers, having been exhibited by the North Ameri- can Savages.
It is a remarkable fact, that most of the tribes or fragments of tribes of North American Indians are but little more advanced than they were centuries ago. The Indians of the west, still hunt with the bow and arrow, and make war with the lance and shield. Their religion, manners and sustoms, have undergone little change for three hundred years. The same vague superstitions-the same stupid ignorance-the same mutual dissen- sions which have ever been the barriers to their prosperity, yet exist-a few tribes, originally settled east of the Mississippi river, have become somewhat civilized, and Christianized; but the greater portion of tlie west- ern Indians are still savages. The labors of Christian missionaries have been too confined and cramped, to accomplish what we could have wished to see.
But surely, the Christian denominations, if not the general govern- ment will take some steps to reclaim this lost people. The more we learn of them, the more we find to admire. Then how noble would be the labor of a life among them, that their full history might now be saved, and not perish, as it will most likely, without exertions, in less than two centuries, when not one representative of these once powerful people will exist, to remind us of their ancestors-our benefactors.
Who is he that would not contribute something to the cause of education -one of the first steps to civilization-among the poor ignorant savages of the western wilds? Surely, if such a man lives, he will not let his existence be known.
The day is coming when the western wilds must be converted into happy homes, and if the red-man who now occupies them is not first taught. to fill the injunction laid upon Adam, he must go tlie way of his ancestors and be no more known among the nations of the earth."
Keeping in view the purpose of the author of these Annals to chronicle only such matters as are directly related to Tazewell County, we have omitted from the republication of Bickley's History, the following: The Preface, Outline History of Virginia, Table of Contents and the greater part of Introduction to Indian Wars. We have also omitted to copy the authors concluding "Note" and the chapters on Birds, Animals and Plants. Bickley's list of the Members of the Legislature has not been copied because a complete list appears elsewhere in Part One .- Harman.
