They were Ignoring, too. thu foct that early In the struggle for freedom, they themselves, bad solicited the old of Indians and even then Christian Indians from Mass., were fighting on their side. But propagandists then, as ever since that time, have not always been concerned with telling the whole truth. Burgoyne had hoped that not only active Loyalists, but those whose allegiance was doubtful would rally to his army as It advanced. .When he captured Tlcondemga so easily. It was such a blow at the Patriot cause that it began to look as though the whole rebellion might collapse, especially since there were so many Colonists who cared little for either king or congress and wunted only to lie allowed to continue In their itehceful pursuits. But the unpunished murder of Jane McCrea made even those, who might be inclined to swear allegiance to the crown and receive a certificate of loyalty, waver. If the bride of an officer In his army was killed by bis savages, wbat assurance would they have, that anyone would be safe from Ids painted demons, they asked themselves. Among these who favored the Patriot cause her denth helped fix In them a stubborn determination to reto the end and to sist quicken them into action. "Remember Jane McCrea 1 became something of m rallying cry along the harried frontier of New York, for the fame of the victim made tlie atory of her death spread like wildfire and greatly stimulated recruiting Thus the story of Jane McCrea was spread, broadcast throughout the colonies. It became a leading Item of Patriot propaganda. No doubt that master propagandist of them all, canny Ben Franklin made good nse of 1L Just as he nsed the famous "Inventory of scalps story (which he had manufactured) so efficiently In stirring up the Patriots to a high pitch of fury against the British. Although It is impossible ever to lay a finger upon the definite results f propaganda, there can be no doubt that this atory had an Important effect upon Patriot morale at a time when It waa very low. It took tlie fighting of a Willett and a Ganseroort at Fort Schuyler (Stanwlx). of a Stark and a Warner at Bennington and of a Mor gan and an Arnold at Saratoga to ecus!! the Invader and to make his defeat one of the fifteen decisive bsttles of the world and his surrender the real turning point In the American Revolution. But the beautiful girl wh.was struck down by an Indian bu) let that July morning, 153 years ago. deserves a share In that great victory. Unwittingly she played an Important role In a mighty drama. Bo Jane McCrea did not die In vain.
