Excerpt from Papers and Addresses of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut: Together With the Constitution and by-Laws, Register of Officers and Members and Necrologies, Forming Volume II of the Proceedings of the Society It is true that the Pequot historians, whose works were unfortunately all burned in their wigwams, might have told a somewhat different story. Stanton, the interpreter, is reported to have said to them in the interview at Say brook fort: \ne don't know one Indian from another. Doubtless this was true, and it may account for a good deal of trouble. If one Indian did any mischief, the first Indian that was caught suffered for it, though he knew nothing whatever about the mischief or its perpetrator. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life that was the theory on which they aeted, and the Indians on their Side were hardly more discriminating.
