Pettijohn and Ohio is wild it's the frontier it's uncivilized you know I appreciate your concern but neither mother nor I have had a letter from father in years we must find out if he's all right I must find out that's twice what carrots cost me a few weeks ago how am I supposed to feed my children yes Peter I know you're hungry I'm ready please mr. Pettijohn wait for me Sarah wait do we have to shout in your face we're worried we'll never see you again I look forward to introducing you to father at least let me come under what thank you mr. Pettijohn mr. Pettijohn where are you mr. Pettijohn mr. Pettijohn come back I traveled two months in too far to fail please don't believe me mr. Pettijohn how far I walked these past two days I'm so hungry I'll just rest for a moment Oh father where are you I am cornstalk no one will hurt you here you're free to go you're free to stay some white people stay I will leave as soon as I am stronger I am glad you've come at this important moment the meeting will begin soon runningdear find a white girl unconscious in the woods she's scared of me I will take you to her after I greet the other Chiefs we can't afford ink at that price that's almost half again what it cost last month that's not my problem lad but we won't be able to publish the Gazette how will the citizens get news of the war I ask - are you buying the ink or not not good day to learn how did you do that I have brought a white man do you speak English my name is Sarah Phillips my name is Samuel Samuel Phillips father sick minds I thought you went back to London father whiskers look at you I suppose I no longer looked the proper British officer but Sarah the wall I wrote to you telling you to return to your mother your mother is she well yes Father she's well she's answered none of my letters and neither have you I was afraid I've received just two letters father nothing since 75 that's why I had to find you it's a miracle that you did Sarah have you fallen in love with this land as I have look at this place walking where no Englishman has walked before living with my hands not taking orders from anyone left right left right left right you must tell me about yourself Sarah look at you I barely move stars as we walk back to the village there's a tribal council I must attend with my friend chief cornstalk we the good citizens of Philadelphia urgently requests that the local militia expel from our town all disaffected persons and their supporters you know what disaffected persons are working people who don't wanna be poor who want to feed their kids and aren't afraid to say so we are the good citizens of Philadelphia we're the real Patriots we're supporting this war on our backs the rich want us to shut our mouths while their children staff themselves the rich people are not playing by the rules of our country is a fair shake come to a meeting and Patty burns Tavern at 9:00 tomorrow and tell everyone you know and I'll report on the meeting in the Pennsylvania Gazette excellent lad you rich man are you scared of us poor working Americans maybe you're right to be scared we must fight the Americans why should we honor the Treaty of Camp Charlotte the Americans haven't they're supposed to let us live north of the Ohio River in peace but they burn our fields they cut down trees they slaughter game for sport they suited us on our Shore why must we turn our backs when we're injured we're losing our land our lives our self-respect I don't say we should attack the Americans if they leave us alone I say we should protect ourselves if they attack us or else we won't be destroyed I gave my word to the Americans that we would remain at peace so did many of you I have never gone back on my word have you but one thing concerns me even more than my honor as a man the survival of my people if we fight the Americans they will come at us until they destroy us we don't have the strength to drive them out our best hope is that the Americans lose the white man's war to the English I am a warrior is hard for me not to fight the Americans but if we could survive this war and the English win we will give our sons and our daughters and their sons and daughters a chance to survive well played Sarah Sarah you would be a good Shawnee why thank you in an IPSec oh that's a high compliment Sarah they believe most white people are bad people our grandmothers told us so I haven't met your grandmother our grandmother is the Shaunie's God Oh our grandmother watches over us she gives us good harvests and hunting trips and victory and games suck red feather what is it boy sock our fishing party American soldiers I alone I'm alive we must move our village again no we must defend ourselves my people are enraged by the Americans violence I don't know if I can keep the peace any longer I am bound by honor to tell the Americans that I must go to Fort Randolph my son will go with me let me go to I know the commander Matthew Arbuckle maybe I can help let's send him a message they can't ignore three years ago James Wilson signed the Declaration of Independence now he's a British sympathizer who's robbing us blind I say we take Wilson tar and feather him and we're out of town on a rail let's go I want you boys away from trouble wait don't do it oh the journalist I thought you were with us I am with you I'm with you that there needs to be justice for everyone but this isn't justice this is wrong you don't just grab someone and hurt him I'm starting to think maybe there's another one who needs tar and feather forget the boy let's get Wilson yes sir are you English or are you American how many times I've asked myself the same question the men at the fort consider me an American frontiersman now and so do I I'm not sure mother would be happy to hear that nor am i but I fell in love with this country just like I fell in love with her its freedom sell American freedom I've traveled the world and there's nothing like it anywhere and you said are you an American I'd hope seeing you would convince me that I'm not come Lord Randolph what will happen to the Shaunie's of the Americans win the war I don't want to think about James Wilson had been warned that he was the mobs target and withdrew into his sturdy home with 20 supporters we have to destroy your pretty house call for the cat I will return to my people and urge them to leave this area but they might attack you instead so chief you know telling me it's possible that any second now we could be at war with the Shawnee yes I have warned you and now we will go you're lucky you're a retired British major Sam or I'd have to throw you in the guardhouse my new enemies here take them and keep them safe but Matthew cold stock came here in peace and honour to warn you about the very people he tried to talk out of attacking you Sam I suggest you take your daughter as far from this place as you can Joseph Reed president of our city's Executive Council led his Light Horse and breaking up the craft five men died in the Fort Wilson riot and 17 wounded James Wilson is not an angel but in our new nation everyone has the right to due process of law just as the writer of this piece who was threatened with bodily harm for daring to take issue with the mob has the right nay the responsibility to write the truth as he sees it in the United States of America we the people have the freedom to write what we want to write I lost you for six years Sarah I'll not risk losing you forever we couldn't help corn stock in even itsuka something for which I will forever be sorry what will happen to them father they'll probably be held as hostages and traded to the Shawnee for American prisoners now I fear for our friends lives they wouldn't Ilyn IPSec Oh I will never understand white men they have no rules no honor the war has been a disaster for the Shawnee what will happen to us father we will fight the Americans and be destroyed and what will happen to us maybe the Americans will trade us for soldiers maybe they will kill us if they do since we are warriors our souls will enjoy a special place with our grandmother in heaven but we will feast and dance forever I said don't touch the Shaunie's no captain we're gonna do to them what they did Oh Robin yelling nipsey ko I've seen you grow to manhood I'm proud of the man you become you will have vengeance for our great chief and his son we will make the river safe for our fishermen to fish in and our children to Bay then we will drive the white man from the valley of Ohio forever father what kind of land is this will the fighting never stop Sarah listen to me listen to me I was deceiving myself thinking you and your mother could join me here the Ohio frontier is too wild I would like to take you out of here now myself but I can't I must help my Shawnee friends through this difficult time I made a solemn promise to cornstalk that I would do soon I will survive this war this too I promise and so will you sir I want to go home to Philadelphia to England to mother I can't bear finance anymore father can you forgive me there's nothing to forgive I'll be happy to have you far away from the fighting when the war is over you and your mother will join me in New York or Massachusetts or Connecticut and we will live our lives as we please together what if we don't want to come then I shall say goodbye to this land I love and join you and your mother in England wonder whether she'll like me in whiskers dearest Sarah James Audrey and Moses now that the work of achieving a treaty with France is complete I find my duties have become even more considerable than before articles to write funds to raise boring soirees with fine gentlemen and powdered wigs fiddlesticks forget this war for a moment how I miss you all than how I look forward to be reunited soon in the city I love with the people I love how I long for the day when we shall merrily dance and sing together I shall play my fiddle because all of us we dear dear friends will be living together in freedom in our new nation
