superintending Providence which has turned a cruel war into peace;
brought order out of confusion; made the fierce savages placid; and turned
away their hostile weapons from our country! May the same Almighty
Goodness banish the accursed monster; war; from all lands; with her hated
associates; rapine and insatiable ambition。 Let peace; descending from her
native heaven; bid her olives spring amidst the joyful nations; and plenty;
in league with commerce; scatter blessings from her copious hand。
This account of my adventures will inform the reader of the most
remarkable events of this country。I now live in peace and safety;
enjoying the sweets of liberty; and the bounties of Providence; with my
once fellow…sufferers; in this delightful country; which I have seen
purchased with a vast expence of blood and treasure; delighting in the
prospect of its being; in a short time; one of the most opulent and powerful
states on the continent of North… America; which; with the love and
gratitude of my country…men; I esteem a sufficient reward for all my toil
and dangers。
Fayette county; Kentucke。
