The story of George Rogers Clark's epic march across the "Drowned Lands" from Kaskas- kia to Vincennes and his capture of that post is a familiar one to every American. But the school histories, always more concerned with the victor than with the vanquished, while paying a well-d-e served tribute to Clark's prowess, have' little to say about the sub sequent fate of his adversary. This article proposes to tell the aftermath of Vincennes" be cause it is a chapter in the history of Williamsburg, whose re cent restoration to its former glories as the colonial capital of Virginia causes thousands of Americans to make patriotic pil grimages there every year. Hamilton's Story That "aftermath" can best be told, perhaps, in the words of the man who experienced it Hamil ton himself. In July, 1781, the exgovernor of Detroit sat himself down in his lodgings in Jermyn street, London, and wrote a long report to his superior officer, Gen. Sir Frederick Haldimand, gover of Canada. That re port, which is still preserved in England, tells in detail how he was besieged by Clark and his Kentuckians at Vincennes, how he surrendered, how he and his men were sent as prisoners of war first to the Falls of the Ohio (Louis ville, Ky.) and then to Virginia, He then continues: "On the 26th. (May, 1779) A Rebel Captain with a Guard marched us from Beaver dam to Richmond, from thence to Ches terfield, where we remain d till the 15th.

"Having been by order of the Governor (with the advice of his Council) prohibited the use of pen Ink and paper, or the converse of any one but our Jailor we had no employment but in our reflections . . .

"The door of our Cell continuing shut for several days, the poor prisoners Young and old, Men and Women, offered to be our present situation, took us to an upper room in the Jail, where prisoners had formerly been kept. this tho it had no window but an open grate was more tolerable than the Dungeon, we could light a fire in the Chimney and by sacrificing part of our blankets to stop the grated window and stuff the cracks in the cieling we made a shift to endure in the daytime, at night we were remanded to our Dungeon.

Thus the captivity of the "Hair Buyer General" in old Williams burg ended. The seventy of his treatment was due in large part to John Dodge, whom Hamilton calls an "unprincipled and per jured renegado" (a characteriza which American historians indorse). Dodge had been a trader in Detroit whom Hamilton had imprisoned for suspected disloyalty but who managed to escape and return to the East Then, according to Milo M. Quaife, in the book "The Capture of Old Vincennes" (published ll in 1927 by the com tion, incidentally, Bobbs-Merri- pany): "Gifted with a fluent tongue and a pliable conscience, Dodge sought to revenge himself upon his former adversary by repre senting to the Virginia authori ties that Hamilton at Detroit had been guilty of repeated violations of the recognized laws of warfare and of humanity. Relying upon this highly untrustworthy testi- mony, Governor Jefferson declined to accord Hamilton the treatment due an honorable prisoner of war; instead, he was made the scapegoat of the now odious system of warfare it had been his duty to administer, and was long treated as a common felon; at length General Washing ton interposed his powerful influence, in opposition to this procedure and Hamilton obtained his exchange and was allowed to re-I turn to England." u Maia-POrU- LAB - PHOTO ENLARGEMENTS S Mlammrata DEVELOPED, at rear Drat Biorf, or uu mumuw.

The Indians committed out De Peyster has come ragesbut down to the present day as pretty much of a popular figure. "Hamilton and De Peyster were not responsible for the raid ing parties. They were acting under orders. The responsibility rests squarely on the king and the ministry at home. Hamilton and De Peyster were agents of the government, discharging the duties imposed on them. "Indian warfare was a terrible thing. I certainly have no desire to condone it. Here was the situ ation, however. England and the Colonies were at war. As far as England was concerned, it was civil war. a rebellion. The English wanted to hold the terri tory north of the Ohio. There were but a few white soldiers available so they turned to the Indians. "In taking that action, no mat ter how much we may deplore it today, the fact remains they were doing what every civilized nation has done through the ages employing savage allies when they were needed. As recently as the World war, you will recall, the major powers used native forces to aid them in battle. "Jefferson included in the Dec laration of Independence an in dictment of the king for using Window 'merciless Indian savages' against the colonists yet the Continental congress was not slow in making overtures for like em ployment of the savages. "However the Indian warfare may have seemed to the settlers against whom it was directed, it is wholly unfair for posterity to single out Hamilton for peculiar resDonsibility or infamy. Yet, upon him George Rogers Clark fixed the dreadful name 'the Hair Buyer' and by this he remains even to the present tune. "I have been able to find no evidence, when properly exam ined to show that Hamilton ever bought a scalp. On the other hand, there is evidence to show that he made repeated efforts to control the savage instincts of the Indians. He denied, in private reports to his superiors, and to Jefferson and others as well, that he ever bought a scalp. "Those are some of the rea sons why I feel that Hamilton was not as bad as he has been pictured that he hasn't been giv en a fair hearing. - Inatramanta, Hospital Soapl Tnuaca.
