Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of Mr. John Dodge During His Captivity at Detroit: Reproduced in Facsimile From the Second Edition of 1780 The Narrative of John Dodge is one of the records of frontier life during the period of the American Revolution that displays the intense feeling of hat red and unfairness evinced by the British soldiers to the American rebels. It was written and published during the time of the greatest excitement in the West - the scene of the Narrative - and is historically valuable because of being contemporary with the events in question. It was considered of great importance at the time of its first appearance, having been at once reprinted in England and passed through at least three editions in America. In other writings published in England in 1779, appear the first public notice of the cruelties and gross irregularities in the administration of justice in Detroit under the rule of Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton, and the presentment of Hamilton by the grand jury of Montreal for murder in the execution of a Frenchman convicted of stealing.
