- Lot Description
[NATIVE AMERICANS]. [ST. CLAIR, Major General Arthur]. A Narrative of the Manner in Which the Campaign Against the Indians? Philadelphia: Jane Aitken, 1812. 8vo. 273 pp. Bound with half-title. Publisher?s plain boards, rebacked in later tan cloth, printed paper label on spine (worn, soiled, scuffed, ink notations to boards, ownership signatures and inscriptions to ffep. and title-page, ownership initials on rfep., text toned, soiled, foxed, edgeworn, hinges starting, a few leaves with tears near inner edges). Fair. FIRST EDITION, WITH ORIGINAL SUBSCRIBER?S LIST. General St. Clair, earlier exonerated by a court martial for his retreat from Fort Ticonderoga, during the Revolutionary War, was defeated again in 1791, when 800 of his troops were massacred by the Ohio Indians. ?His narrative [recounts] the terrible defeat and slaughter? All of St. Clair?s voluminous defense is rendered nugatory and futile by the passionate ejaculations of Washington, when Major Denny called him from a dinner party, to announce defeat. Overcome with surprise and indignation, Washington cursed the beaten general with exceeding fervor, adding, ?Did not my last words warn him against a surprise??? (Field). Measurements: 10 x 7 x 1?.
