| Notes |
- Joseph Weare will probably forever be known by the sobriquet of "the Indian-Killer." Just what part of the traditions of his righteous vengeance and prowess as exemplified upon the savage destroyers of his relatives is true, and what is fictitious, will probably be accurately ascertained; but one has only to read some of these stories as printed on pp. 15 and 16, of "Old Times," and in that early collection of Indian tales and adventures called "Forest and Shore," purposely made to be thrilling at whatever disregard of historical facts, and then to compare them with such facts as the records show, as printed on pp. 152 and 153, "old Times," to see how succeeding generations amplify and exaggerate whatever comes to them in traditional form.
A reference to the extracts from his private journal, as given in the first mentioned article, enables one to evolve from the mists of unwritten history the conclusion that he was a God-fearing man, who by making these enemies of civilization the objects of his personal attention whenever they crossed his path, aided in securing to his community freedom from such savage inroads.
