Notes
Content: Printed on border: "This maiden, in the innocence of youth, and the bloom of beauty, -- the daughter of a loyalist, and engaged in marriage to a British officer, -- was, on the very day of her intended nuptuals, massacred by the savage auxilliaries of the British army. This barbarity inflamed the American people, and blackened the royal cause. The cruelties of the Indians and the cause in which they were engaged, were associated together, and presented in one view to the alarmed inhabitants." Includes additional text.
Source note: Pictorial history of America : embracing both the northern and southern portions of the New World. (Hartford : House Brown, 1847) Goodrich, Samuel G. (Samuel Griswold) (1793-1860), Author.
