notes:
The text states that "This print is engraved from an authentic copy, drawn by a French engineer, from the American original." The plate shows how Canadian warriors, soon after the settlement of Canada, took up the hatchet in favor of the French against a hostile tribe that had allied with the English. In a smaller form this plate had appeared in LaHontan's Voyages, in both the French and English editions from 1703 to 1741. Published first by Isaiah Thomas and then Joseph Greenleaf in Boston, this magazine was produced from January 1774 until April 1775 when the war put an end to publication.
