Two pieces. Letter, mostly about Captain Aaron Hill, a Mohawk chief who was arrested by Congress. Brant, who was then on his way to England, heard of the capture and immediately returned to intercede for Hill. "... I have wrote letters to His Excellency Governor Clinton & to my friend Major Peter Schuyler ... I had no true account [of] the manner Capt. Hill is kept. The conclusion of that council at Fort Stanwix by the commissioners I have had no account at all... I hope those commissioners did not over sett all what you & we have settled there. I intend to be at Montreal the 10th of February ... to talk over of those agreements made at our meeting at Fort Stanwix ... I wish Major Peter Schuyler should be the person that would meet me at Montreal ...". Accompanied by a printed excerpt from The American Historical Record, Vol. 2, No. 19. July 1873 where the letter was first published and discussed, as well as a transcription and two file cards describing the letter.
This collection of oral histories and other research materials was created by Laurie Gashinski while she was an undergraduate at Queen's. It was research data for HIST 515, an undergraduate research thesis course she took with Robert Malcolmson in 2005. Gashinski interviewed a number of women from the local area who had served in the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (WREN). It should be noted that women who did not want their names attached to their narratives were excluded from donation. Their opinions and thoughts were incorporated into the manuscript in a summary manner.
