Robert E. Ixm*.
Robert E. Lee was born in Strat
ford. Westmoreland county, Virgin
la. Ylis father, Henry Lee, known
better as "Light Horse Harry Lee,"
had become famous in. the Revolu
tionary war. When quite a boy
his father died, leaving Robert to
take care of his mother, lie grad
uated n4; West Point in 1829. For
his distinguished services in . the
Mexican war, he was three times
promoted.
From 1852 to 1856 he was super
intendent of the United States
Academy. When the second caval
ry was formed Lee became its
lieutenant colonel. Three days af
ter Virginia seceded Colonl Leee
resigned from the United States
Army and was appointed to com
mand the tfoops of lils native state.
In the civil war -Ills' fame rose
great and high. It is safe to * say
he is America's greatest general.
From 1865 until his deatji* be*
was President of Washington Col
lege ? now Washington and Leo Un
iversity. *
Once when Lee was fixing to at
tack, General J. E. B. Stuart, a
Confederate cavalry leader, raaJe a
brave ride around McChi:m's army,
capturing prisoners arid provisions.
Lee was a brave man; religions and
a lover of his oountry.
His birthday Is celebrated thru
out the South.
At the end of the war when , Lee
was going home, his men cried and
tried to touch his horse or htm.
Then Leee Bald, "Men, we hare
fought through the war together;
I have done my best for you; my
heart la too full to say move."
When he died even poople from
?the North came to his Mvoral and
went taa the Southerners did. Lee
CANONCHET.
Thla Is the story of *' savage chief
tain who could not forget * wrong, and
who, at the coat of hla own life,
avenged the eril wreaked by the white
men upon' his father.
Mlantonomoh, a a an earlier article
of thla series told, waa sachem of
the Narragansett tribes. He was proud
to be known as the white man'a friend.
He gave pledges of loyalty to the
New England colonists and trusted the
vows the colonists made In retrun.
Then Uncaa, the great Mohegan chief,
became bis enemy. Uncaa waa more
useful to the white men than Mlan
tonomob. J3o the New Englanders sac
rificed the Itrustful sachem, giving him
over to the Mobeguns for execution.
When Mlantonomoh waa slain, the
Narragansetts sought to punish the
Mobegans for bis death, but sgain the
English settlers Interfered to help
Uncaa.
A Wrong to Avenge.
Canonchet (or Ns-nun-tlnu) was
Mlantonomoh's son. In time he be
came chief of the Narragansetts. A
Massachusetts colonist thus sums up
his appearance: "He is a large, mus
cular man, of great courage of mind
aa well as strength <?f body." The
young Narragansett ruler waa not at
first strong enough to declare his In
tention of averaging Mlantonomoh's
sacrifice. So he went (as his father
before him bad gone) to Boston aa
guest of the English. There he was
flattered and made much of, even aa
Mlantonomoh once ~bad been. The
Engllah had given Mlantonomoh a
shirt of mall. They presented Canon
chet with a gorgeous red coat laced
with sliver. And they managed, as in
Mlantonomoh's case, to Induce him
to sign a treaty that Wae favorable to
the colonies. In fact, he appeared to
have forgotten any grudge he Jiad
ever held. But, ^herees Mlantonomoh
had been honest in bis oath of friend
ship, there Is every reason to believe
Cononchet was not. He accepted the
Englishmen's gifts, listened with a
grave face to their flattery, signed the
treaty, and ? then went back to his
people and secretly made ready for re
venge.
King Philip, son of Massasolt, de
clared war on the English. Canon
chefs chance had come. He sent his
braves on the warpath as allies of
Philip. He gave refuge and shelter
to th* wives and children of Philip's
warriors. He was paying the first In
stallment of his debt of hatred. And
the second soon followed. The Eng
lish learned with pained surprise that
the man they had so lavishly enter^
tained and had dressed In a silver
laced coat was actually enrolling him
self among their enemies. So, in
March, 1676, they sent an expedition
under Capt. Michael Pierce to punish
Canonchet for breaking his treaty
pledges.
Plferce and Ms troops marched into
the Narragansett country and near the
Pawtucket river falls found Canonchet
with 300 Indian braves at his back.
Canonchet, as if in fear, crossed the
river with his men. Pierce followed in
hot pursuit. But as the English militia
men reached the farther bank the re
treating Canonchet suddenly halted
and gave the order to attack. He had
lured the English across the ice
choked stream In order to prevent
them from escaping Into the forest.
I With the river at his back, 'and the
Indians rushing down upon hin\ from
I the banks above, Pierce was caught in
a trap. He formed his soldiers in
double line qf battle, back to back, on
the brink of the stream, and prepared
to meet the avalanche of Savage as
sault as best he might During the
fierce battle that ensued Canonchet
and his braves slew nearly every man
In Pierce's command.
News of this disastrous affair roused
all New England. Every colony there
was called on for militiamen to crush
Canonchet. A strong force of soldiers
and "friendly" Indians, under Capt
George Denlson, bore upon his camp,
took him by surprise. Canonchet made
a dash for the nearby river, meaning
to leap into Its waters and swim to
safety. ' As he ran he threw away the
silver-laced coat the English had given
him. The Indian allies of the ool
onists gave chase, but Canonchet's
fleetness of foot kept him well ahead
of them. Just as he neared the bank
he slipped In the mud and fell. Be
fore he could scrample to his feet he
was seized.
A Last Defiance.
The captured chief made no resist
ance. In fact, he treated his captors
as though they were slaves; scorning
to speak to them or look in their di
dection. He was taken before the au
thorities, who offered him release un
der certain humiliating conditions. He
refused, adding: '
"I wish to hear no more talk ahout
treatise or freedom. The English have
burned my people In their homes. By*
killing me you will not end the war.
There are other Narragan setts as
brave as L"
The English gave Canonchet over to
their Indian friends for execution. As
he was led forth to death he aaldl
