Footnotes
eaf153v1.n9[9] Is not this an anachronism? The famous rifle-shot and desperado
whom tradition accuses of shooting down the bearers of
flags of truce upon several occasions during the relentless conflicts
between the Whigs and Tories of this region, is not mentioned
as thus feloniously signalizing himself until the last great
inroad of the refugees in the subsequent years of the war.—P. D.
