Logan, 1754, vII

“Logan will no longer oppose making the proposed peace with the white men. You are sensible he never knew what fear is, that he never turned his back in the day of battle.  No one has more love for the white men than I have.  The war we have had with them has been long and bloody on both sides.  Rivers of blood have ran on all parts, and yet no good has resulted there from to any.  I once more repeat it, let us be at peace with these men.  I will forget our injuries, the interest of my country demands it.  I will forget, but difficult indeed is the task.  Yes, I will forget that Major Rogers cruelly and inhumanly murdered, in their canoes, my wife, my children, my father, my mother, and all my kindred.  This roused me to deeds of vengeance!  I was cruel in despite of myself. I will die content if my country is once more at peace; but when Logan shall be no more, who, alas, will drop a tear to the memory of Logan."
