Reproduced in Facsimile from the second edition of 1780 with an introductory note by Clarence Monroe Burton.
Dodge was a trader living in Detroit who was made a prisoner during the American revolution by the British commander of Detroit, Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton. His narrative describes the inhuman treatment of prisoners at Detroit. Hamilton, who fueled Indian attacks on American settlers with generous bounties for scalps, was later brought before a grand jury in Montreal for executing a Frenchman for theft.
