Description

Samuel Miles tells a story of a French Canadian officer who came to see him in Philadelphia after the French and Indian War. This man while commanding parties of Indians saw Samuel Miles many times at Fort Ligonier in 1759 and could have shot him once three times in one day however it would have given him no advantage.
